Madrid (EFE) allegedly defrauding the Madrid City Council by supplying sanitary material.
This businessman was already being investigated, together with Luis Medina, for the alleged crimes of fraud, money laundering and falsification of a commercial document, when they pocketed between them more than 6 million dollars in three contracts to sell medical supplies to the Madrid City Council at the beginning of the pandemic, in March 2020, for which the Consistory paid 11.9 million.
Luceño declares this Friday after magistrate Adolfo Carretero recently expanded the charge against him for a possible aggravated crime against the Public Treasury and another crime of forgery in an official document committed by an individual.
A decision that he adopted after Anti-Corruption asked to incorporate into the case a letter from the Tax Agency that revealed that the businessman “had stopped entering the public coffers in relation to the IRPF for the year 2020 the amount of 1,351,386 euros, as a consequence of the intermediation operations investigated in this proceeding”.
The magistrate has also summoned this Friday as a witness the head of the investigation team of the Tax Agency that made that report.
In that order, the judge explains that Luceño could not allocate his income to the Takamaka Invest company “because it was not constituted at the time of carrying out the operations”, and therefore appreciates “indications of the commission of an aggravated tax crime of which he speaks the Public Ministry”.
Regarding the crime of falsifying an official document, the magistrate argues that a false plate from the National Intelligence Center (CNI) was intervened in the search carried out at the businessman’s house and now the investigation “should be extended to the manipulation of a series of documents » signed by the mayor of the capital and other municipal officials.
Last January, when the Police verified the falsity of the effects found at Luceño’s house, the judge decided to expand the investigation on him, in another order in which he explained that the businessman “seems to distort his activity and profession to facilitate the alleged deception carried out against the Madrid City Council in the criminalized business under investigation”.
