The long list of conversations that MEP Alvise Pérez has had over recent months with the founder of Madeira Invest Club, Álvaro ‘Luis’ Romillo, the person who gave him 100,000 euros in cash that the leader of Se Acabó La Fiesta (SALF) had claimed for electoral campaigns and to pay for lost lawsuits, it also includes a tip in which the politician warns the crypto businessman that he is being investigated by the Central Operational Unit of the Civil Guard.
It happened in a telephone conversation that both had two weeks ago, on September 13, and that, like the rest of the evidence that incriminates Alvise, has been provided in the document that Luis Romillo presented to the Prosecutor’s Office in case his activities at the front of the financial club “could constitute a crime.” In the talk, in which Alvise commits to lobbying in Brussels in favor of the cryptocurrency sector and Romillo’s own business, Madeira Invest Club, and even establishing conditions in a future government pact with Alberto Núñez Feijóo and Santiago Abascal , to protect the interests of the businessman, the MEP warns of an investigation against Romillo of which he learned after a visit by an agent from the Central Operational Unit of the Civil Guard.
In the conversation, Alvise ends up accusing the CNMV of being a corrupt organization controlled by “Ibex people” whom he has tried to investigate. Throughout the conversation, which lasts 17 minutes and takes place three days before Romillo announces the closure of Madeira Invest Club for not being able to pay the high returns it promised, up to 53%, the MEP invites the founder of Madeira Invest to organize talks in the European Parliament with public funds and to propose “10,000 measures in defense of cryptocurrencies and the businesses that operate with them.”
In the talk, the founder of Madeira Invest Club tries to distance himself from all those initiatives that Alvise proposes to him because he understands that his closeness to the politician and the interest of some media outlets that published several news stories about his links encouraged police investigations that led to the blockade. of the bank accounts of that financial club.
That same Monday, September 16, three days after that talk, the founder of Madeira Invest Club announced the closure of its operations. Since then, thousands of investors have organized themselves through different law firms to report an alleged scam that has already reached the National Court. One of the affected platforms has asked for Alvise to be charged and to return the 100,000 euros he collected in cash from the financial club.
The MEP, meanwhile, has not denied the collection of that money in cash, which he requested from Romillo in several messages in which he said he needed “funds that do not require being controlled by the Court of Auditors.” In a message on his Telegram channel, Alvise Pérez implies that he received it as a freelancer, despite the fact that in the screenshots provided to the Prosecutor’s Office he himself wrote to his donor after receiving the 100,000 euros in cash: “Thank you, man “You provide me with an urgent part of the campaign.”
The day after receiving the funds, candidate Alvise began a tour that took him to 16 Spanish cities and culminated with a massive end-of-campaign event in Madrid’s Plaza de Colón.
The Supreme Court Prosecutor’s Office, the only court competent to charge Alvise given his status as a MEP, is investigating whether the receipt of the 100,000 euros by the businessman to whom he promised to legislate in favor of his business and the messages requesting funds “that do not require be controlled by the Court of Accounts” constitute a crime of illegal financing.
