Jesús Gil
Gregorio Jesús Gil y Gil (12 March 1933 – 14 May 2004) was a Spanish businessman and politician. He served as Mayor of Marbella between 1991 and 2002, and presided for a 16-year tenure as president of the football club Atlético de Madrid.

Gil was sentenced to five years in prison, but was pardoned after 18 months by General Francisco Franco. Football In 1987, Gil was elected presi ...
