The Audiencia Nacional has sentenced actor Imanol Arias to two years and two months in prison for five counts of tax fraud related to the 'caso Nummaria'. Arias reached a plea agreement with the Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office. In contrast, actress Ana Duato and her husband were acquitted of all tax fraud charges after choosing to contest the trial. The court also handed an 80-year prison sentence to their tax advisor, Fernando Peña, who was the principal accused in the case. Ana Duato expressed relief following her acquittal, stating that it was unfair to endure years under the presumption of guilt. The case has drawn public and media attention, with some questioning the verdicts. The Audiencia Nacional's rulings confirm the divergent outcomes for the two actors involved in the high-profile tax fraud case.
