Four men were found guilty of planning and carrying out the
attacks and given 30 years for each of the 191 people killed and
18 years for each of the 1,841 injured.
The BBC's Pascale Harter in Madrid says the terms were largely
symbolic as under Spanish law the maximum term that can be
served is 40 years.
That's a very large "largely", in English usage. 99.9%?
