Judge Inmaculada Iglesias has decided to suspend and set for June 24 the declaration of Alberto González Amador, partner of the president of the Community of Madrid, Isabel Díaz Ayuso, in which he planned to defend himself against the complaint in which the Prosecutor’s Office accuses him two tax crimes and one of falsification of a commercial document.
The businessman’s summons brought dozens of media representatives to the doors of the Madrid courts, but González Amador managed to avoid them both upon entering and leaving, and he even used a gray hair wig to mislead his presence in the corridors of the judicial body. In fact, sources present at the statement commented that It was difficult for them to recognize González Amador in the images that are known of him with Ayuso. This Monday he appeared with shaved hair, no beard and wearing a suit.
From the Superior Court of Justice of Madrid it was reported that the reason for the postponement was due to the intention of the head of the Court of Instruction number 19 of Madrid that all those accused in the procedure testify on the same day.
In addition to González Amador, one of the supposedly businessmen was also summoned this Monday. involved in the falsification of invoices investigated, Maximiliano Eduardo Niederer, but since he resided in Mexico, he had not been able to be located. This circumstance, together with the fact that the other two investigated businessmen who were summoned for this Tuesday had expressed their inability to attend, is what has decided the judge to postpone all appearances to the same date.
In this way, on the 24th the Madrid president’s partner will appear before the magistrate, but also the others denounced by the prosecution: David Herrera Lobato, Agustín Carrillo Saborido and José Miguel Carrillo Saboridowho are credited with helping the former prepare false invoices with which to reduce the taxes he had to pay.
Sources from the prosecution, however, pointed out that in this way the magistrate also facilitated an agreement between the parties to avoid the prolongation of the procedure, a possibility that has meant that González Amador himself and the Bar Association of Madrid denounce the Madrid Provincial Prosecutor’s Office for an alleged crime of data disclosurewhen reporting the terms offered by the lawyer to avoid false news.
In fact, Más Madrid deputy and lawyer Hugo Martínez Abarca, upon leaving the Plaza de Castilla courts, attributed the postponement to “a case of escapism.” In fact, González Amador he avoided being recorded by the media, putting on a wig with white hair as soon as he left the court, while waiting in the elevator, according to several witnesses.
Seek conformity, according to Más Madrid
Martínez Abarca pointed out that the defense “has been confusing the procedure from the beginning, with ridiculous accusations against the prosecution, delaying the procedure. It seems clear that they are going to try to annul it, but there is no way to take it and today is the icing on that cake “. In his opinion, the request for the postponement made by González Amador is “a pretend” attempt to achieve “a agreement of conformity, but that means accepting the crimes of which he is accused and accepting a sentence. That is to say, deny Ayuso, who said that there were no false invoices, there were no shell companies and that we were not going to see each other in court, as we are today, that it was all a kind of treasury invention.”
The deputy recalled that the computer problems that have been experienced in the Madrid courts and that it seemed at first that they were the reason for the delay “they are the responsibility of Díaz Ayuso.” This “generalized incident” that has been experienced in all the courts and tribunals of the Community for a week made possible a not very common gesture: all the associations of judges made a joint statement to denounce the problems that “prevent the proper and correct processing of procedures, including the signing and notification of judicial resolutions that affect citizens”.
In their note, they denounced the seriousness of the situation, especially in the on-call or Violence courts, and urged a quick solution to the problem, because “the functioning of the Administration of Justice cannot depend on the personal sacrifice of its members.” .
Complaint of fraud to the Treasury
The investigation focuses on the alleged criminal evidence regarding events related to Corporate Tax corresponding to the years 2020 and 2021 and a alleged crime of falsification of a commercial document as invoices have been provided that do not correspond to services actually provided and contributed with the purpose of reducing the tax amount to be paid.
In the order opening proceedings, the judge reasoned that supposedly and “as a consequence of these fraudulent behaviors, the taxpayer has stopped paying a fee of 155,000 euros to the state Treasury for the 2020 Corporate Tax and for the 2021 corporate tax, a fee of 195,951 euros.
Ayuso’s partner will testify after the Superior Court of Justice of Madrid (TSJM) has admitted to processing the complaint that the businessman filed against the chief prosecutor of Madrid, Pilar Rodríguez, and the prosecutor Julián Salto, for a crime of revealing secrets in relation to the note released by the Madrid Prosecutor’s Office in which it clarified the exchange of emails between Alberto GA’s lawyer and the prosecutor in the case.
In this case, the instructor has summoned the parties for May 24 to ratify the complaints. That is, González Amador himself and a representative of the Madrid Bar Association, which also accuses the prosecutors, must appear. Among the proceedings, it is requested to identify the top prosecutor who authorized the dissemination of the aforementioned press release, which seems to point directly to the attorney general, Álvaro García Ortiz.
