A Spanish court banned the brother of Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez from holding public office for nine years on Tuesday after convicting him of helping secure a public-sector job tailored for him.
David Sánchez was convicted by a court in Badajoz in the western Extremadura region of administrative misconduct but was cleared of influence peddling, which could have resulted in a prison sentence.
In its ruling, the court said he was guilty as a necessary accomplice in the unlawful creation of the position and imposed a nine-year ban on holding public office and exercising voting rights.
