 European Comm, De Salvador Torres v. Spain
In his submissions, the public prosecutor stressed the fact that the Audiencia Provincial had clearly acknowledged that the applicant was a person entrusted with funds belonging to a public institution for the purposes of Article 399.
In any event, it is true that, even if Article 394 of the Criminal Code (embezzlement of public funds) cannot be applied, the fact remains that the accused Mr de Salvador is a civil servant and that he took advantage of his position in order to commit the offence of which he was found guilty.
In sum, as expressed by the Constitutional Court in its decision of 20 July 1992 (see paragraph 13 above), the public nature of the applicant's position was an element intrinsic to the original accusation of embezzlement of public funds and hence known to the applicant from the very outset of the proceedings.

Beyond the Audiencia Nacional, the Attorney-general himself, Jesus Cardenal, last Thursday October 29, 1998, during an interview that appeared in the second channel of Spanish Public TV, stated that he was confident that the Criminal Court of the Audiencia Nacional would agree with the Goverment in his opposition to the development of the cases.
