The Provincial Court opens the road to investigate Ayuso's couple for two new crimes | News from Madrid

The Provincial Court of Madrid gives the green light to the expansion of the investigation To Isabel Díaz Ayuso's couple For two new crimes. The magistrates have notified this Monday to the parties that can proceed with the opening of a second piece, by dismissing the resource filed by businessman Alberto González Amador, according to a car to which the country has had access. The facts affect the business of the Amador consultant in 2020 and 2021 with the Quironic health giant, a company that invoices hundreds of millions to the Community of Madrid.

The magistrate of the Court of Instruction number 19 of Madrid, María Immaculate Iglesias, I had opened this new piece on October 23 to investigate Amador for crimes of unfair administration and corruption in business. Amador's lawyers resorted to the audience and the decision has been known this Monday afternoon.

The news is a hard blow to Amador since only eight months ago I hoped to put an end to its judicial problems with a confession agreement of guilt that would have allowed him to escape from jail. That pact It was interrupted in extremis When the popular accusations of PSOE and more Madrid asked Judge Iglesias to consider the extension to new crimes. Amador now faces two fronts separately and, to finish both in conviction, he could enter prison.

The car is also a setback for Ayuso, who has been involved thoroughly in the defense of his partner and has accused Pedro Sánchez's government of a « hunt. » The Madrid president He said to The world This Sunday that Amador « is the payment of an off -term tax », despite the fact that the farm file proved that the businessman defrauded 350,910 euros thanks to 15 false invoices. Ayuso also insisted on the idea that Amador's irregularity is common – ”as 50,000 inspections per year” – but the Tax Agency only 184 annual processes for fraud.

The case took a turn last June 24, when PSOE and more Madrid made that request to extend to new crimes. They alleged that after studying in a matter of two weeks the voluminous file of sanction of the Treasury, they had concluded that the cause could not be closed so soon or in such an indulgent way.

The inspectors of the Tax Agency had made inquiries for a year and a half about Amador's consultant, Maxwell Cremona SL, dedicated to advising on obtaining quality stamps. When the Prosecutor's Office received the file in January last year, it only decided to formulate a complaint for two crimes of fiscal fraud in competition with falsehood in a commercial document, committed in the 2020 and 2021 years of the Corporation Tax. In the opinion of the two leftist parties, the facts contained in the dosier four other criminal types incurred: unfair administration, corruption in business, accounting falsehood and accounting crime. Finally, Judge Iglesias admitted only the first two.

The crime of corruption in business punishes bribes between companies to obtain competitive advantages, and the unfair administration is oriented against business administrators that cause damage to the alien assets put under their responsibility.

The magistrates of the Third Section have estimated that in the present “procedural moment the substantiation of the process is appropriate in order to clarify whether the facts subject to the separate separate piece can be constitutive of criminal offense. The economic and legal operations carried out may or may not have the scope that is reviewed, but at the conclusion that corresponds must be reached after the corresponding open investigation. ” The car imposes the coast of the appeal to Amador.

Payment to the Quirón Executive

The facts that have originated this second piece date back to December 2020, when Maxwell bought for almost 500,000 euros a second company, Circle of Beauty SL, dedicated to the aesthetics and property of the wife of the president of Quirón Prevention, Fernando Camino. Amador changed the name to Masterman & Whitaker SL and transferred to her the businesses that Maxwell was doing for Quirón. According to the Treasury, that transfer was fraudulent since this new society did not have material or human means, unlike Maxwell, which had resorted to commercial contracts for years with around a dozen auditors.

The inspectors concluded that Amador employed Masterman in the fiscal year of 2021 as an instrumental company, so that Maxwell paid less taxes. On December 15 of that year, Maxwell issued an invoice of 720,000 euros with VAT to Masterman for “Customer Systems Consulting”, managing to transfer his income from Quirón. The Treasury described this operation as « artificial, illicit and unequivocally fraud. »

In their resource, the two leftist parties had asked that will be summoned Because they suspected that the purchase of beauty circle was actually the undercover payment of a commission. They were based on the assumption that Amador had to be grateful to the way because his little consultant was dependent on contracts of hundreds of thousands of euros with chiron. Another possibility is that it was a consideration for a business that greatly enriched Amador at the beginning of the pandemic. During the first wave, Amador packed a commission of 1.9 million euros through the purchase of Chinese masks made by a Galician company linked to Camino, Mape Advisors, for 42 million.

He Pact that Amador negotiated in June last year It consisted of accepting eight months in prison, a penalty of less than two years, which would have allowed the judge to suspend their entry into prison since the businessman lacks criminal records. But now two sentences could attend, making that exemption impossible.

Amador is investigated in the first piece for two fiscal fraud crimes of 305.1 CP, which plans one to five years in jail. In the second, crimes are corruption in the business of article 286 bis of the Criminal Code (CP), which includes sentences between six months to four years, and the unfair administration, of article 252 of the CP, with sentences from six months to three years.
