This week the Supreme Court opened a case to investigate whether the State Attorney General, Álvaro García Ortiz, leaked emails between the lawyer of Alberto González Amador, Isabel Díaz Ayuso’s partner, and the prosecutor investigating him for defrauding 350,000 euros. Part of those emails—which García Ortiz denies having disseminated—had already been previously disclosed by Miguel Ángel Rodríguez, chief of staff of the Madrid president and who has been personally involved in the defense of the commission agent.
The high court’s decision is the latest derived from a case that came to light in March of this year, when elDiario.es revealed that González Amador had been denounced for not paying the Treasury the percentage that corresponded to him after pocketing a commission of almost two million euros for the purchase and sale of medical supplies in the middle of the pandemic. The confession of fraud by the businessman himself and other facts contained in the investigation for tax evasion dismantle more than seven months of lies, propaganda and misinformation by the regional president and her team.
03/13/2024. Isabel Díaz Ayuso: “My partner is suffering a savage inspection”. It was the first reaction of the regional president a day after the first revelation by elDiario.es about her partner’s tax fraud that the Prosecutor’s Office had reported. The Tax Agency opened an inspection considering it “extremely striking” that in 2020 its turnover grew by almost two million – up to 2.3 million – and yet it paid half the taxes than in 2019.
03/13/2024. Isabel Díaz Ayuso: “And now they want it to be 2022 to delay the almost 600,000 euros that the Treasury owes them”. In reality, González Amador tried to remedy his 2020 and 2021 deception to the Treasury by entering the amounts owed in 2022 into the public coffers, when he was already being investigated. That money, which Ayuso’s partner paid without anyone asking, is what explains the supposed Treasury “debt” that the president boasts about. When González Amador verified that he was not going to be able to reduce the punishment, he requested a refund. That’s where the “almost 600,000 euros” come from.
03/13/2024. Miguel Ángel Rodríguez: “The Prosecutor’s Office offers an agreement to Mr. González by email; Before he can respond, the same Prosecutor’s Office says that it has received orders “from above” so that there is no agreement and, then, they go to trial.” In an attempt to pass off the investigation as political persecution against Ayuso, Rodríguez published this message on his X network. But the Prosecutor’s Office never offered an agreement that he later withdrew. It was González Amador who proposed reaching an agreement on February 2 and his lawyer left it in writing in an email sent to a generic address of the Prosecutor’s Office. The prosecutor in the case responded on February 12 that he took note “of his client’s willingness to recognize the facts and pay the amounts allegedly defrauded.” On March 12, the prosecutor attached the complaint he had filed in another email and reiterated that the existence of other defendants did not prevent the agreement.
03/21/2024. Isabel Díaz Ayuso: “I have been renting for 20 years. “I don’t have any flat.”. According to Ayuso’s declaration of assets, the Madrid president does have a home in bare ownership with a cadastral value of 140,547 euros acquired in 2011. In addition, He lives with his partner in a million-euro apartment which he bought after defrauding the Treasury after the mask scandal. To that floor is added an attic just above the one that both also enjoy and which is in the name of a company managed by the businessman’s lawyer: in total, there are more than 380 square meters that cost at least 2.8 million euros.
04/10/2024. Isabel Díaz Ayuso: “Luxury penthouse? “We have to die laughing with you”. “Everything is false, they are going to have to apologize”. The 2.8 million euros at market price that the two apartments he uses would cost do not reach the level of luxury for Ayuso. These are two homes located in Chamberí, one of the most coveted districts of the capital and that together add up to more than 380 square meters.
04/17/2024. Isabel Díaz Ayuso: “I didn’t lie. “He was right and everything that is happening is due to a political hunt.”. González Amador’s confession dismantled weeks of lies and propaganda from the president and her team. The fraud of 350,951 euros means having committed two tax crimes, to which must be added that of document falsification for the invoices that he falsified to complete the maneuver of deceiving the treasury. To avoid the media impact of the trial, the businessman proposed an agreement to the Prosecutor’s Office, which is pending signing and which involves accepting an eight-month sentence that will prevent him from going to prison.
04/17/2024. Miguel Ángel Rodríguez: “The Treasury has to return 552,000 euros to González Amador. Neither TVE nor the Sanchista media have reported the news. “They just rage”. Those “552,000 euros” are a crude attempt by González Amador to try to repair his deception to the Treasury. He did this by trying to nullify the amount of the larger false invoices and reporting that amount as income. That is, he canceled 1.5 million of an expense that he never had and that he never paid, as if it were accounting income. In this way, it ended up paying a total of 629,000 euros for Corporate Tax in 2022, when only 77,156 corresponded to it. When he saw that the Treasury did not accept this trick, he asked for a refund. From there comes the 552,000 euros, to which Ayuso also referred.
01.07.2024. Miguel Ángel Rodríguez: “It was not a hoax, but an official email”. That day, González Amador asked the Supreme Court to investigate the attorney general. And Ayuso’s chief of staff was involved again in the case. That “official email” is the one he forwarded to The World and other means to falsely accuse the heads of the Prosecutor’s Office of preventing the agreement with González Amador. It was an email with manipulated information that was denied hours later with the publication of the businessman’s confession email.
16.10.2024. Miguel Ángel Rodríguez: “The Treasury never investigated González Amador for anything about masks”. The tax fraud for which González Amador is accused had its origin in commissions of two million euros that he collected for mediating the purchase and sale of medical supplies during the worst months of the pandemic. The accounting engineering that he used to save taxes on these operations led to the complaint filed by the Prosecutor’s Office and the subsequent court case.
17.10.2024. Miguel Ángel Rodríguez: “If it is proven that the attorney general stopped the operation and refused the agreement, where is the hoax?”. The attorney general never stopped any “operation” nor opposed the agreement between the Prosecutor’s Office and González Amador, as evidenced by the messages exchanged between the prosecutor in the case and the businessman’s lawyer. That agreement is awaiting resolve some appeals presented by PSOE and Más Madrid.
