Madrid: Spain’s National Court sentenced a man to seven years imprisonment for threatening to kill Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez.
Manuel Murillo, 66, had posted messages on social media threatening Sanchez.
The police raided Murillo’s home and seized seven prohibited firearms, including an automatic rifle, Xinhua news agency reported.
The court ruled that Murillo had decided that “the solution to produce a change in the Spanish political situation was to cause the death of the prime minister.”
The judges also said that his “arsenal of seized weapons” was “a circumstance that is indicative of the high danger involved in the decision adopted by Murillo.”
