The arrest of Leire Diezthe arrest of the owners of Plus Ultra and complaints of harassment of women by socialist leaders caused a real earthquake within the PSOE. These latest scandals are only the latest episode of … a series of corruption which overwhelms the president of the government and his entourage. The judges have on the table more than a dozen cases which affect the entourage of the President of the Government. A Pedro Sanchez in which the dwarves grow and which already has the first negative judgment: that of the Supreme Court against Álvaro García Ortiz.
In this context, the Central Operational Unit (UCO) of the Civil Guard yesterday dealt a new blow to the Leire Díez operation. Nearly twenty searches and the arrest of Joseba Antxón Alonsoaccording to research sources.
This new corrupt plot would be led by Joseba Antxon who would have a intermediary role between businesses and public administrations. An interesting fact is that this businessman had four private meetings with Navarrese President María Chivite.
Alonso’s role as arranger would have been facilitated by Vicente Fernández, former president of SEPI. Thanks to the work provided, he was hired at Servinabar, the company that obtained millionaire tenderss with the collaboration of Acciona. Santos Cerdán would own 45% of this company, according to the procedure carried out by the UCO in the Koldo affair.
Registration at Plus Ultra headquarters
The third part of this equation would be Leire Díez. Sources consulted by this media suggest that there could have been a role of commissionaire thanks to the steps it took to obtain public contracts. Businesses allegedly carried out through the purchase and sale of a car and other financial products.
The case is led by National Court judge Antonio Piña and arose from a complaint filed by the Anti-corruption prosecution during which alleged irregularities in public procurement were reported. According to judicial sources, the crimes with which the detainees are accused are prevarication, embezzlement, influence peddling and criminal organization.
The National Court ordered a total of 19 searches as part of this investigation, which already includes three detainees: Leire Díez, Vicente Fernández and Joseba Antxon Alonso. UCO agents were distributed between Madrid, Seville and Zaragoza.
In the capital, civil guards are looking for information at the SEPI headquarters and in the apartment on Diego de León Street, which Vicente Fernández rented and where Leire Díez met with businessmen to search for “dirty laundry” on police officers, judges and prosecutors.
Another point of interest is the Enusa Building. This public company is currently headed by Mariano Moreno, known as responsible for cash envelopes at the PSOE headquarters in Ferraz. The former PSOE director was questioned as a witness before the Supreme Court in the Koldo case.
Mercasa, Forestalia and a bar in Seville
It should be remembered that the public enterprise Walk The matter has already been investigated by the National Court. In fact, in 2022, Judge Santiago Pedraz agreed to open an oral trial in one of the parts of the Mercasa trial against 18 individuals and 4 traders for irregularities in the contracts signed between 2006 and 2016 for the construction of a wholesale market in Luanda (Angola), through the payment of commissions to the authorities and public officials of that country. The magistrate led the charge against each of them and imposed a bail of 22,206,894 euros.
Outside of Madrid, in Zaragoza, the epicenter of the investigations is the headquarters of Forestalia. A company dedicated to green energy where contracts are sought in public markets obtained in recent years.
Likewise, in Seville, the agents are in a bar in La Cartuja, which bears the name The ballwhich would belong to Vicente Fernández. It is suspected that this case could be used to launder money, a dynamic similar to that observed with the Franky bar: the Pamplona establishment identified by the Civil Guard.
The researchers’ objective is to obtain documentation on public contracts awarded to certain companies between 2021 and 2023.
The investigation into this matter is part of an investigation into the Court number 6 of the National Court which remains subject to summary secrecy. After this intense Thursday of searches, the UCO will run out of time to bring the three detainees to justice.
These procedures were initiated thanks to a complaint from the anti-corruption prosecutor’s office. As ABC revealed, last week Antonio Balas, head of economic investigations at UCO, met with Judge Antonio Piña to finalize the details of this major operation.
