The Provincial Court of Madrid has acquitted Luis Medina and Alberto Luceño of the crime of fraud to the Madrid City Council for having stayed with 6 of the 11 million that the Consistory disbursed in sanitary material in an operation during the pandemic. The Court only condemns Luceño for the crime of fiscal fraud and another for falsification of a public document, having manufactured a CNI card.
The Anti -Corruption Prosecutor’s Office requested 15 years in jail for Alberto Luceño and 9 years and 10 months for Luis Medina in the so -called ‘Mascarillas Case’. Prosecutor Luis Rodríguez Sol considered Luceño responsible for the crimes of aggravated scam, falsehood in commercial document, falsehood in official document and a crime against the Public Treasury. Medina is attributed aggravated fraud and falsehood in a commercial document.
The defendants obtained 6 million euros in commissions of a total of 11 that the Madrid City Council disbursed for three types of sanitary material in March 2020, the most fateful period of the Coronavirus epidemic.
The City Council bought a million KN95 masks, for which they paid $ 6.6 million; 2.5 million nitrile gloves, worth five million and 250,000 fast tests for a price of $ 4,250,000. The real price of the masks was 2.7 million, so the defendants took a net profit of 4 million, that is, “148 % of the real price of the product,” according to anti -corruption. .
The City Council’s Purchasing Representative defended during the trial that Medina and Luceño assured him several times that they would not charge commissions. The material was partly defective or not adjusted to the request of the City Council.
