The Central Operating Unit (UCO) of the Civil Guard is located atop a structure supposedly designed to defraud hydrocarbon taxes of businessmen Victor de Aldama and Claudio Rivas. Among them were 11 people involved, whom the agents called “the fronts,” who were tasked with placing companies under their names or camouflaging criminal operations to make the process more complicated, making it difficult for the authorities to trace them. One of these is Javier Secchi, who was arrested in Tarragona on October 10, 2024, along with other members of the conspiracy, but remained silent before Judge Santiago Pedraz. And now, a year later, he has just asked the national public to voluntarily come forward.
Wood from it Hydrocarbon statusformed by more than a dozen defendants and several ultra-rich companies, is still unfolding in the Central Instruction Court No. 5 of the National Audience investigating a fraud worth up to 231 million euros between 2021 and 2024. In this plot, Aldama and Claudio Rivas spent a few weeks in prison until last year’s finals. The UCO fired them in October and a month later, on November 21, the Anti-Corruption Inspectorate requested the expulsion of the commissioner, after initiating a cooperation with the judicial system in which he spoke about the activity of former Transport Minister José Luis Albalos and who his advisor Koldo García was.
A few months later, on December 17, Judge Santiago Pedraz also approved the release of Claudio Rivas who, as he said in this article, had recently used one of the farms where the UCO believed it could provide hydrocarbon money for a farm with more than 90 jabaliyas. Halloween day.
The Civil Guard appointed Aldama and Rivas as co-managers of a fuel network that covered the control of seven interconnected companies that operated, through servants, as a means of committing multi-million dollar VAT fraud: Ubaoil 3000, Salamanca Fuel Center, Canary Islands Fuel Company, Casmar Hydrocarburos, Fuels Gallon Plaza, Skyward Tech, and Spaceventus. Through these dealers, they both allegedly used Villafuel, which had operator status and could therefore obtain fuel on tax deposit that they sold to distributors and gasoline stations without declaring taxes from these operations to Hacienda.
The summary of this investigation shows a list of names who acted as pork leaders for these traders at the bottom of the chain. One of them, specifically, was Javier Secchi, the responsible manager of the SL Salamanca Fuel Center. The agents believe that this commercial material “was used by the criminal organization to channel funds of criminal origin to Portugal, with the aim of preventing, concealing and obstructing their ability to bring them in.”
He then sent a letter to Judge Pedraz—as he had access to the country—to explain that even when he had cited the Declaration, he had accepted his right and had failed to do so, the “present learned trend” being understood to be “more suitable for the defense of his interests and for a proper explanation of what had occurred” had been given. Voluntary declaration. Furthermore, he explains that his accounts are blocked and that it is impossible for him to pay for his house, water supply, electricity and basic expenses. Therefore, he requests that the ban be lifted so that he can “satisfy the minimum indispensable requirements that allow him to continue living at his habitual residence along with the ability to engage in professional activity.”
The judge filed the declaration on December 9, as well as the sources of the defense’s request to argue that this agreement is not compatible with other previous judicial obligations. The company that was managed by Salamanca Fuel was accused of fraud worth 34.6 million euros.
Seki cogio las rendas de this trade after Felix Aparicio who was the founder of the Constitution on November 24, 2022 and remained until March 2023, when he passed Seki. Aparicio is one of the commissioner’s close businessmen and, according to sources familiar with the investigation, the person who traveled to Ibiza with Aldama this summer. A report by the tax agency reveals that since the company that first managed Aparicio and Luego, money (€2.5 million and €1.2 million) has been transferred to Atmosferaudaz, a company run by Victor de Aldama in Portugal. It is worth noting that in the same June, the Supreme Court refused to allow Aldama to travel to the new country for “professional reasons.”
