EBU President and WBC vice president Ruben Martinez could be facing up to three years in jail and a big fine if he is found guilty by a Spanish court for the charges brought against him with respect to money that is claimed to have "disappeared" from the Spanish Federation. The trial took place on March 29, but the investigation against Martinez began in the fall of 2003 and also involves the President of Spanish Federation, Justo Vazquez Marcos and Margarita Rodriguez Monastina, the secretary of the Federation. The Spanish Federation controls both amateur and professional boxing and receives substantial support from the government. A verdict is expected next week. [details]
