In the dirty war that shakes the PP, politicians from different administrations and a detective with tradition are mixed
Who is who in the plot of Genoa and Ayuso?
Isabel Diaz Ayuso
President of the community of Madrid. A former minister of Mariano Rajoy, with contacts with the Mira Investigation Group, told him in December that her family was being spied on from the Madrid City Council.
Tomas Diaz Ayuso. Older brother of the president. Genoa accuses him of having charged a commission of 280,000 euros for the award by hand of a contract of more than 1.5 million euros to buy 250,000 masks in April 2020 from the company Priviet Sport.
Daniel Alcázar
Owner of Priviet Sport. In the national PP they maintain that he is a childhood friend of both Tomás and Isabel, since they played together in the town from which their families originate: Sotillo de la Adrada, in Ávila.
Alvaro Gonzalez
He is the president of the Municipal Housing and Land Company (EMVS), the department from which he was supposedly in charge of investigating the accounts of Ayuso’s brother. According to the City Council, González himself has coordinated the internal investigation and the interrogation of his employees to verify if detective Julio Gutiez was actually commissioned. González’s investigation –they say from the EMVS- has not confirmed the assignment.
Julio Gutiez
Owner of the Mira research group, with offices in Madrid and Colombia. He is one of the best known detectives in Spain. His name has already jumped into the media for having investigated the alleged business of Ignacio González in Colombia. It was he who informed Ayuso’s team on December 16 that he had been commissioned to investigate the president’s brother, but that he had rejected the job because it included criminal actions such as obtaining confidential bank and tax information.
Angel Carromer
Right hand of José Luis Martínez Almeida in the Madrid City Council. According to Ayuso’s environment, it is the hand that rocks the cradle in this spy plot to close the path of the chief executive to the regional presidency of the PP. The one who was secretary of New Generations in Madrid, is a person close to the circle of Pablo Casado and today general director of Coordination of the Mayor’s Office directed by José Luis Martínez-Almeida. Almeida has declared that if his involvement is proven, he will dismiss him immediately
Alberto Ruiz-Gallardon
He is the person who allegedly notified José Luis Martínez-Almeida that a person in charge of the Municipal Housing Company of his town hall would have met with the detective to commission an investigation into the accounts of Tomás Díaz Ayuso. It so happens that the right-hand man of the former mayor, Manuel Cobo, was also the victim of an espionage plot during another internal dirty war in the PP, the one that confronted him with Esperanza Aguirre.
Jose Luis Martinez-Almeida
Mayor of Madrid, but also spokesman for Genoa and Casado’s right-hand man. He was informed by Ayuso herself in December of the existence of the espionage assignment that started from the Municipal Housing and Land Company. He assures that he opened an internal investigation that has come to nothing. He did not communicate the results of his investigation to Ayuso.
