Ayuso’s boyfriend case: the lie wins for the moment in the courts | Spain

Mark Twain wrote that “a lie can travel halfway around the world while the truth is still putting on its shoes.” A lie has gone around Spain several times, pushed by complicit media. This anomaly has triggered, with the invaluable collaboration of the Superior Court of Justice of Madrid and the Supreme Court, the accusation of the State Attorney General, Álvaro García Ortiz, investigated for an alleged crime of revealing secrets consisting of unmasking a rude hoax with data of an ongoing judicial procedure. The supposedly criminal action consisted of destroying a lie with exact information that had previously been leaked, although manipulated, by the intellectual authors of the poisoning. The president of the Community of Madrid, Isabel Díaz Ayuso (PP), and her chief of staff, Miguel Ángel Rodríguez, embarked from the first moment on the fabrication of this lie, which almost no one wants to talk about, to protect and defend to Alberto González Amador, confessed tax fraudster and partner of the popular leader.

Businessman Alberto González Amador is a commission agent who became rich in the worst of the pandemic with an intermediation operation in the sale of masks. In a few months – or a few days – he earned two million euros, much more than he had achieved in the previous 10 years of his professional career. A successful commercial operation without criminal reproach possible because in those months the contracting rules did not exist; They had been repealed by the State of Alarm decree in the face of the health emergency.

Greed, supposedly, got the better of the commission agent, who avoided sharing his fortune with the Public Treasury through taxes.

During the years 2021 and 2022, when González Amador was already the partner of Isabel Díaz Ayuso, the businessman allegedly perpetrated two serious tax crimes and another of falsifying a public document for which he is now charged in a Madrid court. Ayuso’s commission agent partner presented false invoices in the name of a dozen companies for almost two million euros to deduct expenses and thus avoid the payment of 350,000 euros in taxes that corresponded to him.

González Amador’s tax record surprised even the inspectors who were investigating him for repetition of the crime through easily detectable traps. Ayuso’s boyfriend allegedly robbed the Treasury with his 2020 corporate tax return and when the Tax Agency was already investigating him for his suspicious return for that year, he allegedly robbed the Treasury again with the same trick in the 2021 return.

In the box of deductible expenses of his first fraudulent year (in which he declared his hit of two million euros for intermediating the sale of masks), he included as a deductible expense an invoice of 620,000 euros issued in favor of a Mexican company that had never He charged that amount or any other. In his second fraudulent year, when he already knew that the Tax Agency was investigating him, he included a non-existent expense of 927,000 euros in favor of a firm from the Ivory Coast. The inspectors concluded that González Amador had committed a continuous crime “in a preconceived plan with false invoices and implausible and unacceptable explanations.”

González Amador admitted his deception at the end of an almost two-year inspection initiated by the Tax Agency and tried to repair it by paying what was defrauded before ending up sitting on the bench for serious tax crimes punishable by prison. But her own tax advisor explained to her that it was not possible because the Law expressly prohibited it. Article 305.4 of the Penal Code establishes it as follows: “The tax situation will be considered regularized when the taxpayer has proceeded to complete recognition and payment of the tax debt before the Tax Administration has notified him of the beginning of the actions of verification or investigation aimed at determining tax debts or before the public prosecutor’s office carries out actions that allow it to have formal knowledge of the initiation of proceedings. So, blinded to the possibility of making reparation with money for his repeated deceptions to the Treasury, González Amador decided to avoid prison by proposing a conformity agreement to reduce the sentence to only eight months in exchange for admitting to the two crimes – something he had already done during the tax inspection—and paying 500,000 euros.

His partner, Isabel Díaz Ayuso, and the chief of staff Miguel Ángel Rodríguez, launched a propaganda operation to save the confessed tax fraudster. Rodríguez leaked to the media an email sent by the prosecutor in the case to the lawyer of Ayuso’s boyfriend informing him that they had filed the complaint against González Amador and explaining that although other people had been reported (the businessmen to whom he issued false invoices ) that fact would not be an obstacle to reaching an agreement. In that email leaked by Rodríguez, who even published a tweet with its content, nothing was said about the conditions of the agreement, but Ayuso’s chief of staff supposedly explained to journalists that the pact offered by the Prosecutor’s Office consisted of González Amador admit two crimes, pay a fine and thus have his sentence reduced so as not to go to prison. All these details actually belonged to another email, in this case sent by the lawyer of Ayuso’s boyfriend to the prosecution offering the agreement of conformity. As a cherry on top of the information intoxication, Rodríguez added that this agreement offer from the Prosecutor’s Office had been withdrawn by “orders from above.” To this day, the prosecutor’s office remains willing to accept the agreement proposed by the commission agent.

The State Attorney General, Álvaro García Ortiz, reacted to Rodríguez’s attacks on March 13, 2024 by ordering the dissemination of an informative note in which he chronologically summarized the main events of the process opened against González Amador, including the proposal agreement of Ayuso’s boyfriend to avoid jail. Prior to that note, some media outlets reported on the content of the February 2 email in which González Amador admitted two crimes, and even published an image of the document.

The Supreme Court sees in this action, the publication of the email, a possible crime of revealing secrets that would cause González Amador to be defenseless, although the commission agent businessman does not seem very defenseless and rushes the judge who is handling his case so that this agreement of conformity that he proposed at the time becomes effective with a quick sentence that prevents him from going to prison.

The Supreme Court investigating judge of the case, Ángel Hurtado, began the investigation with a massive search warrant on the electronic devices of the State Attorney General and the Madrid Provincial Prosecutor. Before even questioning the journalists who published the alleged email leak. And even before citing those who made the first manipulated leak from the Government of the Community of Madrid that prompted the Prosecutor’s Office to deny a hoax by providing evidence taken from the case summary.

The Madrid president Díaz Ayuso has not publicly expressed any reproach to her partner in these eight months for the repeated tax frauds he perpetrated. Díaz Ayuso has done the opposite: she accused the central government of perpetrating a “montage” to harm her and declared that the Treasury owed her partner 600,000 euros. His lie travels through Spain – now also through South Korea – while the truth continues trying to put on its shoes.
