José María Ruis Mateos, founder of Rumasa and
Nueva Rumasa has
been jailed by surprise in Madrid for defrauding Hacienda (the Spanish Inland Revenue).
It was felt that because of his age (84) and physical and mental condition he
was no longer able to serve the 3 year sentence, but he was submitted to tests
and deemed capable. Sending someone to jail at this advanced age is extremely
unusual, and his daughter Patricia had to rush to the jail with his armoury of
medications.
This weekend sees the arrival of some 10,000
Harley Davidsons in
the Marco de Jerez for the annual rally of worldwide Harley clubs. The event
coincides with the Carrera de las Leyendas (Race of the legends) at the Jerez
circuit. Trouble is not expected, but the main problem is where so many people
are going to sleep.
