Directors could get jail time!? What!? You're joking. Right?

Wow. I never knew Spain had a real justice system. I thought it was just like the rest of us, and allowed anyone in an expensive suit to just say sorry and walk away with a lighter wallet. Good on you Spain for having real blind justice.

I'll send Amex my Monty Python Spanglish phrase book to help some of their colleagues better get through those tortuous first few days in the clink.

I suppose they'll fake Alzheimer's and be drinking Guinness with Ernest Saunders within a year.

There were several tax-fraud cases against Spain-based footballers a few years ago. (e.g see https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-40026827 ). Nobody went to jail, as the BBC reported that "In Spain, prison terms of under two years can be served under probation." Assuming this law still holds, I would imagine that even if any director were found guilty, it would apply, and to borrow your phrase, they would just say sorry and walk away with a lighter wallet.
