Milans del Bosch was court-martialled on 8 March 1981. On 3 June 1982, he was sentenced to a 26 years and 8 months prison term and expelled from the army. Barely 9 years later, in 1991, he was pardoned and released due to advanced age. He never expressed remorse for his involvement in the coup.
He returned to live in his native Madrid, where he died of a brain tumor in 1997. He is buried at the Alcázar of Toledo.
