Name Sentence start Sentence term Country Description Anders Breivik 2012 1,617 years Norway Breivik, a convicted domestic terrorist who committed the 2011 Norway attacks. He was found guilty of mass murder of 77 people. This could extend 21 years on each person murdered, totalling 1,617 years. However, the sentence was 21 years instead with the minimum of 10 years. Although several European countries still authorize life sentences without the possibility of parole, many do not.[170] Gabriel March Granados 1972 384,912 years Spain March, a 22-year-old mailman in Palma de Mallorca, has occasionally been mentioned (sometimes erroneously as "Granados" or "Grandos") as the person sentenced to the longest prison term ever. He failed to deliver 42,784 letters, opening 35,718 of them and stealing their contents for value of 50,000 euro (2010 value). In consequence, March was charged with thousands of counts of fraud, wrongful appropriation of documents (one per undelivered letter) and theft, resulting in an unprecedented request of 384,912 years in prison and a 19-million-euro (2010 value) fine by the prosecutor and release date for 1981. However, the judge refused to give such a long sentence. The judge gave 7 years for theft and fraud as well as 2 months for wrongful appropriation of documents. The actual sentence imposed was 14 years and 2 months in prison and a fine of 9,000 pesetas, after which he was released.[171] [172]
