Daniel Sancho was sentenced to life imprisonment on Thursday for the murder of Edwin Arrieta in Thailand. One of the resources of Spanish is to ask the sorry for the king of thailand. Lawyer Beatriz de Vicente explains that in these cases it is not that the monarch “forgives the life sentence but it allows it to be quantified.
The king would seek the equivalent of life imprisonment in the country of origin of the prisoner and, after serving part of this sentence, allows the prisoner to be transferred to his country. “The closest thing in Spain to a life sentence is the permanent prison reviewable” he says.
“Once arrived at the spanish prison We cannot change the sentence but the Spanish prison system which would allow everything from authorisation to release to review of sentence or a conditional release“, adds the lawyer.
