The tax advisor of Ayuso’s boyfriend denies having cooperated in the fraud of 350,910 euros | News from Madrid
Javier Gómez Fidalgo, the economist who allegedly helped disappoint To Isabel Díaz Ayuso’s coupleHe has defended his innocence this Tuesday before the judge. Sources of his environment assure that he has defended the tax statements of businessman Alberto González Amador, and that the Treasury exceeded him.
Fidalgo has declared that for the alleged crime of fiscal fraud of 350,910 committed by businessman Alberto González Amador, but the leftist opposition to the president also considers it a character of interest for another link with Amador: the purchase of an attic that they use this and the president Ayuso, an issue that is not judicialized, but is usually used as ammunition against the Madrid leader.
This Tuesday at 10.15, Fidalgo entered the View Chamber of Court 19 of Instruction to answer questions about his role in the alleged fiscal fraud, the matter that originated this entire case. 62, this economist rules in León an office of advisors and lawyers called multigestion. Fidalgo answered for two hours to questions from all parties. According to him, he had never been investigated for having submitted a client’s fiscal statement.
His appointment is due to the fact that he presented two autoliquidations of the Suspicious Societies Tax of Fraud, in 2020 and 2021, of one of the Quality Stamp consultants owned by Amador, Masterman & Whitaker. In addition, Amador appointed him to defend him during the inspection led by the Tax Agency, between May 2022 and January 2024.
The Prosecutor’s Office, who requested his imputation in April, stressed that he made, in the name of Amador, « numerous allegations that were then demonstrated false. » The Treasury concluded that Ayuso’s couple used 16 false invoices that amounted to 1.7 million euros, fictional expenses that served to pay less taxes.
Fidalgo has been news since the case exploded due to another reason. In addition to tax advisor, he is the administrator of a real estate company, Babia Capital SL, who bought in July 2023 the attic located just above the Chamberí floor where Amador and Ayuso live. Both have enjoyed the attic during this time, which has raised the criticism of the opposition about whether there is a dark reason for that agreement.
About this, Amador spoke last month to the judge: He revealed that he rents for 5,000 euros that property. He explained that he asked Fidalgo to buy that attic because he did not have enough funds to acquire that second property at that time. The opposition believes that this matter will not be closed until it is revealed where Babia Capital took money to buy the floor.
Sources of his environment assure that Fidalgo has no friendly relationship with Amador and that he met him in May 2022, when Hacienda began investigating the Ayuso couple. Fidalgo has argued that he made the statements of Masterman & Whitaker because his office had brought the accounting and tax statements of that company since it was created in 2008 as a circle of beauty SL and continued to do so after Amador bought it in December 2020.
Although Fidalgo believes that Amador is not guilty of fraud, he has also tried to mark distances with the legal problems of Amador, according to judicial sources. He stressed that he is not related to Maxwell, the other consultant of Amador, whose tax statements were presented by an office of Ponferrada. Maxwell was the company that turned to the invoices considered false by the Treasury.
He has also tried to uncheck when he has talked about the defense he made of Amador before the Treasury. On that action, that the Prosecutor’s Office of “Mendaz”, Fidalgo has said that he exchanged emails with his client in which he explained his assessment as an expert to the issues raised by the inspectors. Then, Amador answered him and he shaped him to forward it to the Treasury.
About the attic has not been spoken in the room. The prosecutor has tried to ask a question about it, but the judge has stopped him dry, claiming that this matter does not correspond to this piece, according to judicial sources.
A Judge in Discount Time
Fidalgo’s statement has occurred within the framework of the main piece, which originated the case 14 months ago. There is a second piece for which Amador is investigated for an alleged bribery of 500,000 euros to an executive of the Quirón sanitary conglomerate.
After numerous delays, the cause had a significant advance last month, when Amador declared for the first time before the judge, María Immaculate Iglesias. In that appointment, Amador defended his businesses with Quirón. After this, the particular accusations of PSOE and more Madrid requested new actions, including that it is imputed to the Executive of Quirón, Fernando Camino, and his wife, María Gloria Carrasco, or that the specialized unit of the National Police in Economic Investigations, the UDEF intervenes.
PSOE and more Madrid seek that the instruction advances before there is an important change in the case: a new judge will soon have to assume the case due to the retirement of Judge Iglesias, which is expected to leave the position in June. To the leftist parties, satisfied for now with the advances of the instruction, they are concerned that the new headline can take a turn to the investigations.
The new magistrate of the number 19 of Madrid will be appointed by a transfer contest convened by the General Council of the Judiciary (CGPJ), which will resolve according to the antiquity criteria between the judges interested in changing their destination. CGPJ sources report that vacancies from dozens of courts are usually grouped into the same call and that four or five selection processes of this type are carried out every year. This assumes that until the arrival of the new headline, a substitute could be temporarily designated, which would take care of the case for weeks or months.
