Palma: Suspended sentence after €35,000 fraud – was that enough?

Answer

Why was the sentence in Palma suspended instead of prison?

The court handed down a 21-month prison sentence but suspended it, which means no prison time as long as the person does not commit another offense and meets the repayment conditions. In cases like this, suspended sentences are often used when the court considers the legal threshold for prison to be met but does not order immediate custody. The victim’s recovery of the money is a separate issue.
