Carlos Salamanca, who was responsible for borders at Madrid's Barajas airport, has been sentenced to five years and eight months in prison. The court has considered it proven that, between 2010 and 2015, he received significant amounts of money (at least more than 125,000 euros in cash) and gifts (high-end cars, luxury watches, trips...) to attend the hearing.

Salamanca received more gifts from other businessmen "as mere attention and in consideration of his position. " The judges of the National Court attribute two crimes of passive bribery to the commissioner. And, in addition to the prison sentence, they order him to return more than 450,000 euros to the State. The trial against Salamanca was held last January. Prosecutor Miguel Serrano described him as a "corrupt" agent of the National Police who, guided by his great "ambition" and love of luxury, accepted handouts and left aside the "criteria of impartiality and his police zeal" to enrich himself.
