The purge and appointment of inspectors related to the PSOE that occurred at the top of the Tax Agency (AEAT) after the outbreak of the Koldo plot has been completed. The president of the AEAT and Secretary of State for Finance, Jesus Gascón, has appointed Consuelo Sanchez director of Human Resources, the most delicate Department, which is now dealing with the widespread anger of the staff, which in the case of the inspectors is already a rebellion, against the Catalan quota agreed with ERC in exchange for the investiture of Salvador Illa. In addition to affecting the public coffers and the fight against fraud, it will mean the splitting of the AEAT and has its 4,000 officials in Catalonia in the air, without even being informed. While the news is happening and this Wednesday Illa has declared that he is going to quadruple the size of the Tax Agency of Catalonia, nervousness is spreading among state employees and CSIF denounces lack of clarifications.
Added to all this is the discredit suffered by the AEAT due to the favored treatment of Pedro Sánchez’s brotherfor the role played by the front page of the Agency in Extremadura in it controversial exculpatory report without signature or letterhead about David Sánchez, to the one who gives an unusual irregular hearing procedure. The three highest regional officials have been forced to sign it after the judge’s request and it is suspected that it has been held at the AEAT headquarters in Infanta Mercedes.
Consuelo Sánchez has been appointed director of Human Resources in replacement of Marta Somarriba, burned in a position also in which she has had to be the visible face of the podemization of the Public Service that is being tested, with measures that allow interim civil servants to be made with a test, to which is added the discontent due to the stoppage in competitions and calls. Somarriba has been placed in the director’s Cabinet, a move that is interpreted as a step prior to her departure.
Sánchez is a member of the AEAT, who was in the Collection Department and in the Special Delegation in Madrid, where she coincided with Soledad Fernández Doctor, director of the AEAT, and who in July 2018 was appointed Special Delegate in Madrid. Sánchez’s appointment is the culmination of the total control of the AEAT leadership that the Treasury began in February with inspectors related to the PSOE, in this case with a person Fernández Doctor completely trusts. “They are shielding themselves from the rebellion that is being prepared for the Catalan quota and discontent with the politicization and the favorable treatment of Sánchez’s brother,” knowledgeable sources point out. Personal friend of the director, she has the task of domesticatesAsk the inspectors and execute what is asked of them.
Congress of inspectors
There is a rumor in the AEAT that Fernández Doctor would have tried to resign due to the Catalan quota but They didn’t let her. This story bothers consulted inspectors, who believe it is self-interested, for which the director would try to protect her image. “When you want to leave, you leave,” They warn, and emphasize that neither Fernández Doctor nor the Secretary of State for Finance, the number two in the Ministry, Jesús Gascón, have given any internal explanation and they try to avoid any occasion that could put them in that position. “They deceive themselves that everything is a deception from the PSOE to ERC and it is not going to be done.” They consider that the Secretary of State should have resigned when the pact was made on August 10.
In this sense, the congress of the Organization of State Treasury Inspectors (IHE) which is celebrated in Cordova next Thursday and Friday October 24 and 25 and to which both have confirmed their attendance. Last year Fernández Doctor was not, the first time that a director of the AEAT did not attend, when the discomfort of the inspectors began to grow due to the news of the investiture pacts of Pedro Sánchez with ERC and Junts.
Explosive report on Víctor de Aldama
The Tax Agency report on the Koldo plot and, specifically, about Victor de Aldama, It is explosive, exceptional and devastating for the Government. Made shortly before, the judge received it Ismael Moreno the 2 February and it drew powerful attention that sources close to the Treasury reached the Court in these terms.
He February 5 The BOE published a cataract of dismissals in the AEAT. In their place, he appointed inspectors who stood out in the Treasury of José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero, as reported Vozpópuli. This newspaper focused on the replacements and their affinity to the PSOE. At that time, the existence of the plot was not public knowledge, which broke out on February 21, when the UCO arrested Koldo García Izaguirre.
Among those dismissed, the director of Inspection and number two of the AEAT stands out, Javier Hurtado, and the Special Delegate of the AEAT in Aragón, Paloma Villaro, ultimately responsible for the report Raúl Burillo, an independent inspector from Zaragoza. In fact, in the summary it can be seen that the previous reports from the Treasury were strictly tax-related.
The dismissals of directors of the AEAT were accompanied in the BOE of February 5 of their respective appointments. He recovered to Carlos Cervantes, director of Inspection between 2004 and 2010, as Central delegate of Large Taxpayers, the elite unit in charge of monitoring the Ibex and large multinationals.
To Cervantes, close to Luis Pedroche, director of the AEAT between 2004 and 2010, he was held responsible for the controversial management of the Falciani list, in which Zapatero’s Treasury tried to exonerate 659 Spaniards who hid up to 6,000 million in opaque accounts at the HSBC headquarters in Switzerland, among them, the Botín family.
The now brand new Central delegate of Large Taxpayers lived a viacrucis with his accusation in a criminal complaint of the Union of Treasury Technicians (Gestha) for prevarication and “favorable treatment” between February 2013 and November 2017, which was finally archived. Cervantes defended before the judge his fatherhood of the idea of not opening tax inspections.
The delegate of Large Taxpayers until February, Manuel Trillo, He was promoted to Director of Inspection, a position that implies being number two in the Agency and the one Cervantes had when he was dismissed in 2010. The profiles of Trillo and Cervantes are considered similar, “with a PSOE card”, and its promotion, understood as a “ultra-defensive chess move” of the Pedro Sánchez Hacienda.
