Problems are accumulating for the former socialist deputy Juan Bernardo Fuentes Curbelo, known as Tito Berni in it Mediator case. The Prosecutor’s Office requests two and a half years in prison for Fuentes Curbelo for alleged crimes of falsification of an official document and a crime against Social Security for supposedly simulating an employment contract. This case is investigated within the framework of a separate piece of the Mediator case.
According to the indictment, to which EL PAÍS has had access, the Prosecutor’s Office demands that an investigative court in Santa Cruz de Tenerife open an oral trial against Fuentes Curbelo and three other defendants for whom it demands the same penalties: his son Domingo Fuentes Rodríguez and his wife, María Jesús Rodríguez de Ver and the Moroccan citizen Rachid Zankti.
The prosecutor maintains that Zankti contacted Fuentes Curbelo—in his capacity as joint administrator of the Ganadería Tetir entity, based on the island of Fuerteventura—to have him discharged from work. Zankti contributed the amounts corresponding to the contribution periods. He hoped, with this, “to be able to comply with the legal requirements provided for in the national legislation on immigration and obtain the intended residence in Spain.”
According to the public ministry, Fuentes Curbelo contacted his son Fuentes Rodríguez so that he could “prepare or commission a fictitious contract that would meet the expectations” of Zankti. Subsequently, to execute the agreement, they delivered the contract to the other defendant, since she was the one in charge of the operation as administrator.
Supposedly, the Tetir Livestock, the Prosecutor’s Office maintains, hired Zankti as a livestock laborer, with a full-time shift of 40 hours per week and with a validity period from December 15, 2020 to March 14, 2021. As As a result of the fictitious employment contract, on January 4 of that year the Government Subdelegation in Las Palmas issued a resolution granting Zankti’s temporary residence and work authorization. And not only that. According to the prosecutor, it made it possible for him to access unemployment benefits, which amounted to 2,184.27 euros between March 14, 2021 and August 8, 2021.
He Mediator case investigates an alleged plot in which the former socialist deputy Juan Bernardo Fuentes Curbelo used his status as general director of livestock farming and deputy in the Congress of Deputies of Madrid as of February 2020 to promise businessmen the possibility of avoiding health inspections , streamline and unblock European aid files or make it easier for them to obtain contracts.
