Santander (EFE) to the head of the Executive when he informed him of the registry of the Ministry of Public Works.
In his statement, as he explained to the journalists when leaving the offices of the Cantabria Prosecutor’s Office, the president indicated that he does not have the call recorded on his phone, an old Nokia, because this device erases the records after nine days and the registration was on February 22.
And he has affirmed that this call occurred at 7:43 a.m., because that is how it appears in the registry of the Government delegate in Cantabria, as Ainoa Quiñones said after Ciudadanos denounced that call to the president.
This party filed a complaint with the Cantabria Prosecutor’s Office, since, according to its national spokesperson, Patricia Guasp, and that of Cantabria, Félix Álvarez, that call was “a tip off” before the registry by the National Police and the Agency Tax Office of the Ministry of Public Works for the alleged corruption plot with works contracts, for which the head of the highway service is in prison, and released with charges his wife, his two daughters and four businessmen.
Revilla: the delegate fulfilled her obligation
Regarding the content of that call, Revilla has opined that Quiñones fulfilled “his obligation” by notifying him that the Ministry of Public Works was going to search on the day eight people were arrested. “It’s normal,” he stressed.
Revilla, who arrived at the Prosecutor’s office at around 8:00 a.m., went out to attend to the journalists at 8:55 a.m., after testifying as a witness, and accompanied by the Minister of the Presidency of the Government and number 2 of his party, Paula Fernandez.
“I don’t understand much of this but I suppose they will shelve it, I understand. It doesn’t make any sense”, Revilla opined.
“Supposedly they have revealed some secret to me. What secret are they going to reveal to me if when they called me the police were already inside”, the Cantabrian president once again told journalists.
What is not unknown is whether he has testified before the Prosecutor’s Office or is going to testify the Government delegate in Cantabria, since sources from this body are not going to make statements on the matter, as they have indicated to EFE.
