Vicente Fernández, who was close collaborator of Minister María Jesús Monteroand who was arrested this week as part of investigations into his possible involvement in the corruption affair, has an important business network in Andalusia.
Fernández is present in two companies in southern Spain. The first is a breakfast and menu bar in a science and technology park. It’s called The Balla company of which he has been the sole administrator since 2023, according to the documentation to which EL ESPAÑOL had access.
The second is a company called Goloso 25 SL, a company which is dedicated, according to the commercial register, to “the purchase and sale, non-financial rental and the exploitation of all types of real estate, such as land, buildings whether or not incorporated in horizontal ownership, premises, dwellings, rural properties and other similar assets.
More simply, the Goloso 25 SL is dedicated to rental of accommodation for short periods. Tourist apartments seem to be the most likely.
It is striking to note that the two companies operate “as a rocket‘. Especially in 2024. That year, according to accounts accessed by this newspaper, Goloso 25 SL increased its turnover by a spectacular 254 percent.
Trade Register
That is to say, it went from a turnover of 34,386 euros in 2023 to 121,841 euros. The development is more than notable for a company which, as the commercial register still reflects, was created in February 2023, just one year before its launch. such marked growth. Fernández joined from the beginning as co-administrator.
And the other company? La Bola, the island bar Chartreuse where they serve breakfast and lunch from menus, as well as drinks on match days and where Betis fans come to preview, before going to the stadium, which is not far away, this is also going from strength to strength.
Because, according to the accounts presented by the company, whose right arm of Montero is the sole administratorin 2023, they improved their business by 29 percent.
The growth in cash flow that year is particularly notable. That is to say the money that circulates in the bar. Precisely, the agents of Central Operational Unit (UCO) of the Civil Guard searched the bar this Thursday, suspecting that it could be used to launder black money.
Thus, the cash managed by this company over the last year has increased by 700%. Of the negative 9,000 euros they invested 2022then made more than 56,000 euros in 2023.
All this happens in Fernández’s companies in Andalusia, although there are other companies. It also includes a third company, this one in Madrid: Allies & Altera, dedicated to the same activity as the Goloso 25 SL since April 2024.
It is also a successful business for Fernández, who is also its sole director. Was invoiced during this single financial year almost 325,000 euros.
In addition, the former SEPI director owns luxury properties on the Costa del Sol, Seville and Madrid.
This is what he emphasized the PP to the Senate investigative committee before which Fernández went to testify.
All this with a 330 square meter chalet in the Puerta de Hierro luxury complex in Madrid – the same one where, for example, Isabel Preysler lives -, two chalets – one of 500 meters and the other of 1,000 – in the La Juliana complex in Seville; And three houses in Marbellanear the sea and in an area highly sought after by tourists.
How can such heritage policy? The PP values it at 10 million euros, a very high sum for a public official.
Because in the Junta de Andalucía Fernández, even with a level 30, the highest, would be around the 60,000 eurossay Council sources.
Added to this is his salary as president of the SEPI220,000 euros per year. He held office there between 2018, when Montero appointed him, until 2019, when he had to leave office due to the judicialization of the Aznalcóllar case, of which he was recently acquitted.
It is at this point, it is assumed, that Cerdán “replaces” him in Servinabarthe company of which it is suspected that he owned almost half and which is the subject of an investigation for the award of public works, among others the expansion of the bridge Centennialkey mobility infrastructure of the Andalusian capital.
