The Central Operating Unit (UCO) of the Civil Guard will investigate what is behind the operation that starred in the accused Alberto González Amador, a couple of Isabel Díaz Ayuso, and Gloria Carrasco, wife of the president of Quirón Prevention, for which the former paid the second half a million euros for a society that lacked value. The judge ordered the UCO in July to enter the case after listening to the version of the two investigated, distrusting their statements and being warned by the prosecutor that their explanations do not even agree.
González Amador and Gloria Carrasco are charged with a crime of corruption in business. The judge suspects that the 499,836 euros paid by Ayuso’s couple to the pharmacist for a circle of beauty in 2020 are the undercover payment made by Alberto González Amador for the part of the commission that corresponded to her husband, Fernando Camino, president of Chirón Prevention and also a member of the Board of Directors of a Galician company that bought the sanitary material.
At the request of the prosecutor of the case, that suspicion is extended to the purchase of the Gloria Carrasco company was also a consideration for her husband, Fernando Camino, to propitiate a considerable increase in the turnover of chirón prevention to the companies of Alberto González Amador. As stated in the investigation of the Tax Agency, the Ayuso couple multiplied in 2021 by four, to 1,049,500 euros, the billing that had been doing to Quirón until then. That year is also the beginning of the relationship with the Madrid president.
Corruption research in business focuses on the purchase of Círculo de Beauty SL. And on that, mainly, the interrogations were to González Amador and Gloria Carrasco on April 10 and June 19, respectively. At the end of his statement, Ayuso’s couple left the court by commenting on journalists who had clarified everything and trusted the next file of the case. But the imputation of Carrasco, his statement, and separately, much less when contrasting them, the explanations of the investigated convinced the prosecutor and the judge of the case.
Prosecutor Diego Lucas explains in his last letter that Alberto González Amador justified the disbursement of almost half a million euros per circle of beauty sl in which the contract “would allow him to develop a consulting project for numerous pharmacies and then expand by Latin America”. Circle of beauty SL had no workers, I had three amortized hair removal devices and a laptop. The previous year had billed 30,000 euros.
The prosecutor emphasizes that González Amador acknowledged that he paid the almost 500,000 euros without having a document that would ensure the alleged expansion through Latin America and that the contact of Gloria Carrasco that was going to ensure success in the expansion countries was not new and that he already knew him before the purchase. “That alleged consultancy from which a performance was going to be obtained that compensated for the half million paid was not done,” writes the prosecutor of the case.
The Ayuso boyfriend’s version wobbles even more after the judge and prosecutor listened to the company’s saleswoman, Gloria Carrasco, and her version, almost nothing coincident with González Amador’s. According to her, the beauty circle value resided “in the knowledge about the way of expanding the business of pharmacies owners through the procedure of sending their clients to premises where they could enjoy shapping treatments and body remodeling, consulting that had no longer developed for years,” writes prosecutor Lucas.
The name of Wilson Rodríguez and the company of this, Inteccon Inc., based in the United States, suppose the only meeting point in the statements of the two investigated, although each one attributes a different role. Carrasco said he knew Wilson for years because his husband had introduced him. [Puedes leer aquí los negocios cruzados entre Quirón, su esposa, la pareja de Ayuso y el amigo de Florida]
It turns out that his company in Florida, Inteccon, was to which González Amador turned to contact two Spanish societies, one Catalan and another Galician, in the mask business, which reported almost two million euros of benefit. The Galician company paid 42 million euros and in its Board of Directors Fernando Camino, the husband of Gloria Carrasco and president also of Chiron Prevention.
Carrasco’s defense has contributed to the Court a contract dated June 16, 2020 between her and Wilson Rodríguez, but the clause that she had to collect what she put in the business was blank. When the prosecutor indicated it, Carrasco replied that she had not read the contract.
During his statement, the advisory work that Gloria Carrasco gave to the Galician company that bought the masks and whose advice sat on the way, came out. The contract between Carrasco and Mape is from June 15, 2019. However, Gloria Carrasco acknowledged that it lacks the knowledge required by the “object of the service” established by the contract.
Realities
The prosecutor’s conclusion faces the optimism that Alberto González Amador appeared after his statement as accused. “The business reality is different from the formal reality embodied in the manuscript contracts – writes Diego Lucas -. It is clear that González Amador did not pay half a million euros to Carrasco Fernández because he thought he was going to obtain something from that company – which he lacked activity -, and the probability of what he did to pay a favor received, already in relation to the intermediation between FCS, [la empresa catalana] and mappe [la gallega]or for the increase in the billing received from the prevention of chirón, or by both ”.
For this reason, the prosecutor requested the involvement of the UCO, as a specialized unit, something that the judge agreed later. Prosecutor Lucas already slides the possible existence of another crime, the money laundering. “It is also necessary to investigate whether the product of these activities – apparently realized through bribes, even in the private sector – has been transformed in some way, or has been disguised in some way to hide an illicit origin.”
