Euro Weekly News | New Penal Code tougher on drivers, easy on dealers | Spain | News | The Largest English Language Newspapers in Spain: "200 drug dealers could be released across Spain as 6,000 cases are reviewed under new rules. This is as a result of Spain’s new Penal Code which came into recently. In effect it outlines tougher sentences for some crimes, and becoming more ‘understanding’ towards minor drug dealers concentrating efforts on major traffickers.
The Government expects 239 of 65,000 prisoners will be released, including immigrants who have been sent to prison for selling counterfeit goods.
The new code describes such activity as a fault and not a crime if the goods are worth less than €400. Drivers will notice the effects of the new penal code most.
The Guardia Civil can now impound a car if it is caught on radar speeding over 200kph on a motorway, or 120kph in town.
Drivers found with more than 1.2 grams of alcohol per litre of blood will also have their vehicles impounded and confiscated forever.
Anyone caught driving in the wrong direction, modifying road signs, covering a radar, driving with no licence, or refuse to undergo alcohol or drugs tests will also lose their vehicles."
