The president’s brother pocketed another 227,150 euros from the mask company the year of the controversial contract, but the regional government insists that most of the money was for other jobs
Tomás Díaz Ayuso received from Priviet Sportive, the company behind the controversial mask contract, a total of 283,000 euros in four different payments in 2020, the year in which the Community of Madrid awarded that company, without any experience in exporting masks. medical material, a contract of more than 1.5 million euros to bring 250,000 masks from China. This is 227,150 euros more than the 55,850 euros, plus VAT, recognized until now.
The regional government admitted this Thursday for the first time that the final amount that the brother of the Madrid president received from his friend Daniel Alcázar’s company in 2020 is almost coincident with the figure that Pablo Casado’s team pointed out from the beginning, which always He spoke of Tomás Díaz Ayuso having received a “commission” of more than 280,000 euros.
The Community of Madrid ended up recognizing this Thursday that Ayuso’s brother charged those 227,150 euros more after the Mediaset program ‘Ya es Noon’ and ‘El Confidencial’ advanced the exact figure billed by the president’s relative to Priviet the year of the millionaire contract of this firm, until then dedicated to textiles and footwear for “gentleman and lady”.
three jobs
However, and as the Madrid president did last time, the Community of Madrid insisted that those 227,150 euros more that Ayuso’s brother received from Priviet the year of the mask contract were for three other jobs carried out by Tomás Díaz for this company and that have no relationship with the regional administration.
The head of the Madrid Executive, who already confirmed in her day that in total her brother issued four invoices in 2020 against Priviet, until now had only revealed the amount of the first of those invoices, that of June 30, 2020 for 55,850 euros, supposedly paid for “the steps taken to obtain the material in China”, in the words of the head of government herself. The president has refused to reveal what those other three jobs were for which her relative ended up pocketing the 283,000 euros known this Thursday and that Pablo Casado -who spoke exactly 286,000 in a radio interview- publicly attributed to a “commission”.
