The Court gives Francisco González and BBVA more time to prepare their defense in the Villarejo Case
The court grants another 60 working days for the defendants in the ninth part of Case Tándem, known as Case Cenyt, to submit their defense documents.
The National Court in Spain has granted an additional 60 working days for the defendants in the Caso Tándem, also known as Caso Cenyt, to present their defense documents. BBVA, its former president Francisco González, and 11 other defendants will have more time to prepare their defenses against charges of continued bribery and disclosure of secrets.
The investigation relates to events between 2004 and 2016. This is the second time the court has extended the deadline, with the new deadline expected to be in early 2025, assuming no further extensions are granted. The prosecution is seeking 173 years in prison for Francisco González and a €180 million fine for BBVA.
