Alberto González Amador paid 77,665 euros to three directors of Insumos Médicos del Pacífico, a company in the tax haven of Panama that Fernando Camino, the president of Quirón Prevention, created in 2013, and that Isabel Díaz Ayuso’s partner managed while defrauding the Treasury.
The transfers appear in the documentation sent to the court investigating the partner of the president of the Community of Madrid for his tax crimes in the years 2020 and 2021, for which he has been summoned to testify. next February 7. In total, González Amador’s payments to those four former members (all Spanish) of the board of directors of that Panamanian company, dissolved in 2022, amounted to 603,501.92 euros.
87% of that figure, 525,836.92 euros, went to the first executive of Quirón Prevention, its main and almost only client, and were made in 2019 and 2020. The invoices provided also include another 30,000 euros in payments for “advice ” from a businessman convicted of fraud in 2018. And 25,000 euros to a regular contractor for Mariano Rajoy’s PP.
The primary part is the half million (499,836.92 euros) that González Amador disbursed in December 2020 for Círculo Belleza SL. This micro SME without assetsdedicated to aesthetic treatments, was in the name of Fernando Camino’s wife. González Amador bought it after the two million dollar he gave for intermediating the purchase of masks for a Galician company, Mape, which his boss in Quirón was already managing at the time.
Given the disproportionate amount paid for Círculo Belleza SL, the judge is already investigating this operation with the support of the Prosecutor’s Office, which sees an alleged “corruption in business” and points to possible bribes with this possible “covert commission.” Corruption in business, an additional crime to those already confessed by González Amador, is punishable by up to four years in prison.
After starting her relationship with Ayuso, the Madrid president’s partner multiplied by four the income she received from Quirón, a leader in private healthcare in Spain and a major beneficiary of the “public-private collaboration” healthcare model in Madrid. The businessman used Círculo Belleza SL to continue defrauding the Treasury in 2021, as determined by the Tax Agency. And before acquiring it for that high figure, he paid her 20,000 euros to receive “advice” while he carried out quality audits for Quirón Prevention.
González Amador also paid at least 6,000 euros to another Fernando Camino firm, Inversiones Random SL, for advertising a yacht he owned. The first payments were agreed upon after Ayuso’s partner’s consulting firm, Maxwell Cremona, was launched in 2017, so the final figure delivered to Camino could exceed those 525,836.92 euros.
This sum does not include the 6,500 euros that Ayuso’s partner paid for the rental of a BMW in the name of the wife of the Quirón executive, the León pharmacist Gloria Carrasco, during the entire 2021 financial year, the last one investigated by the Treasury.
The transactions with former directors of that company in Panama, which González Amador has assured that he “never” used, do not end in Camino. It also paid another 30,000 euros in March 2020 for “advice on the marketing of strategic consulting services” to Curramba SL, apparently inactive for years.
The sole administrator of this company is José Antonio De la Cerda Rosillo, one of the first directors of Insumos Médicos del Pacífico. De la Cerda was treasurer of that Panamanian firm, along with Fernando Camino, who appeared as secretary. In 2014 he transferred the broad powers he had in it to González Amador.
Curramba is dedicated (or was dedicated) to the real estate field or “import and export of all types of food products, and gift and household items,” according to its latest accounts, from seven years ago. That invoice of 30,000 euros (plus VAT) for “strategic consulting” from Curramba to González Amador is dated March 25, 2020: in the worst of the coronavirus pandemic that made the businessman a millionaire thanks to that hit with the masks caused by his boss on Chiron.
By then, Curramba SL had not presented accounts for years. In the latest available in the Commercial Registry, from 2017, it declared a turnover of just over 35,000 euros.
Its sole administrator, José Antonio de la Cerda, was convicted in 2017 by the Criminal Court 2 of Terrassa for a crime of continued fraud through the delivery of promissory notes without funds to three companies. In 2018, the Provincial Court of Barcelona ratified the largest scam, 14,145.49 euros.
It was a small case: “With the intention of illicitly enriching himself,” De la Cerda bought through Curramba SL from a company in Lleida “50 hams worth 14,145.490 euros for which he delivered a promissory note with a maturity date of 20 /8/2005 that was returned by the Deutsche Bank entity due to lack of funds,” the ruling says.
Linking with Vox
The name of José Antonio de la Cerda refers to a Vox candidate in the last municipal elections in Sepúlveda (Segovia). From this far-right formation is Vicente Brisa, councilor in Boadilla del Monte (Madrid) and director of the aeronautics company Aciturri. In the accounting sent to the court there are no payments from González Amador to Brisa or its companies.
They do include the company Aerofalcon, also linked to the aeronautical sector and owned by Juan Carlos González Pérez, another former director of Insumos Médicos del Pacífico. In May 2021, Aerofalcon issued an invoice for 17,500 euros to González Amador’s consultant, Maxwell Cremona, for the rental of an office between April 1 of that year and December 31, 2022.
And on the last day of 2019, there is another invoice for 7,500 euros from Aerofalcon for “technical advice in the Aeronautical sector ISO 9100”, a standard for Quality management systems in the aeronautical industry. Last May, elDiario.es published, based on the Tax Agency report, that it corresponded to services provided to González Amador.
But in reality the payer was Ayuso’s partner, as shown by that invoice sent to the court. Aerofalcon filed for bankruptcy protection on February 6, four days after González’s lawyer acknowledged in writing that he committed two tax crimes to avoid trial.
These invoices from Aerofalcon and Curramba are not among those that the Treasury called “false or falsified” in the scheme of shell companies that González Amador used to defraud the Treasury of 350,951 euros and that elDiario.es reported in March.
The owner of Aerofalcon, González Pérez, received dozens of small contracts from the public company Renfe during Rajoy’s time. He was named president of the Panamanian company Insumos Médicos del Pacífico shortly after Fernando Camino created it. And he appeared on its board of directors until 2022 along with González Amador.
Both were also directors of the Panamanian branch of Aerofalcon, banned in November 2023 by the US Government for participating “in activities contrary to the national security and foreign policy interests of the United States” by “allegedly evading US sanctions and supplying representatives of [Nicolás] “Mature aircraft parts of American origin.”
Ayuso has accused the Prosecutor’s Office of acting “Venezuelan style” in the case of tax fraud confessed by González Amador. He assures that Spain is on the way to being a “dictatorship” and has spoken of conspiracy by all powers of the State because his partner is “someone related to a political adversary.”
Panama, Usera and Florida
The fourth director of Insumos Médicos del Pacífico who received funds from González Amador is César Nieto, one of his collaborators in his quality audits for Quirón. There are invoices for Nieto’s “advice” of 11,956 euros in 2019 and 7,000 euros in 2020 (as a “technical expert in the health sector”), and others for attendance at courses or plane tickets. In total, the payments reach 22,665 euros.
The relationship between González Amador and César Nieto spans several continents and is closely linked to real estate investments. In March 2022, two days after beginning the procedures to liquidate Insumos Médicos del Pacífico, both set up a tourist accommodation rental company in Madrid, October Twelve Accomodation SL.
With it, they bought two commercial premises in the Usera neighborhood, very close to the 12 de Octubre Hospital, without a mortgage in April 2022, which they renovated for short-term rentals. On the Booking reservation portal, accommodation for the first Friday in February was offered last Thursday at 86 euros per night.
González Amador and César Nieto also set up a company in Florida (United States), Burnet & Brown, which manages a real estate agent there. They created it at the end of 2022, in the middle of a tax investigation and the same week that the Treasury notified that it was expanding its inspection to Ayuso’s partner.
The businessman’s brick investments after his tax fraud include the luxury apartment he acquired in July 2022 in Chamberí. There he lives with Ayuso and they both enjoy a second home on the upper floor in the name of a company managed by a lawyer from León who is very close to Fernando Camino, González Amador’s representative during the Treasury inspection. The owner of that penthouse, Babia Capital, bought it in cash after receiving 955,000 euros from a third party whose identity is for now the great unknown of this plot.
Neither Isabel Díaz Ayuso nor anyone from the Community of Madrid have ever answered the question about who pays and why that penthouse located above the home that González Amador bought, in one of the most expensive neighborhoods in the capital.
The Panamanian Insumos Médicos del Pacífico, of unknown activity and unrelated to the Quirón group, according to the healthcare giant, was inactive for years for not paying the fees charged by the Panamanian administration. This implies the suspension of these companies, which cannot register any corporate act. Being in a situation of “delinquency” for three consecutive years, it became disqualified by the Panamanian Government, which in 2021 also banned a Quirón subsidiary there for ten years for corrupt practices.
The Panamanian company managed by González Amador and Fernando Camino, César Nieto or José Antonio de la Cerda was reactivated on May 5, 2022, one day after the company’s dissolution document was formalized. “He paid all outstanding single fees and reactivation is required,” indicates a document deposited in the commercial registry of Panama on those dates.
Just after that “reactivation”, Insumos Médicos del Pacífico was dissolved, in parallel with the opening of the Treasury inspection of Maxwell Cremona, notified to González Amador on May 12, 2022.
