Editing Paco Sanz

Paco Sanz, known as the man with 2,000 tumours, has accepted a sentence of two years in prison, after reaching an agreement with the Prosecutor’s Office in which he acknowledges having defrauded thousands of people simulating a terminal illness.

The deal Sanz has taken means that he has reduced his possible sentence from six years in prison to two, and his former girlfriend, Lucía Carmona, has been given one year and nine months. His mother and father were both accused of the crime. The father has since died.
