The Prosecutor’s Office of the Principality of Asturias has requested the dismissal of part of the so-called “Operation Pokémon”, the alleged plot linked to obtaining public contracts through the figure of a procurer and which affected different councils of Asturias, although the origin of the investigation was in Galicia. The dismissal affects contracts linked to the councils of Tapia de Casariego, Siero and Cangas de Narcea, and also to investigated facts related to the Fusba de Hunosa foundation, the PP of San Martín del Rey Aurelio and the regional PP, for a contract in the framework of the electoral campaign of the regional elections of 2011.
The parts of the “Pokémon operation” that the Prosecutor’s Office now considers are not sufficiently accredited and it is impossible to investigate are all related to Joaquín Fernández, who was deputy secretary of communication for the Asturian PP and who had a consulting company through which billed certain activities.
Precisely the impossibility of gathering more evidence due to the end of an investigation in which the Prosecutor’s Office considers that the possible accusations were not established with sufficient certainty, motivates the decision to dismiss some of the ramifications of the case.
The “Pokemon operation” started from investigations related to crane contracts in Lugo, but later the wiretapping extended the investigations to other public contracts and companies. It is in this process when the listening falls on the Asturian Joaquín Fernández, linked to the regional PP.
The Prosecutor’s Office considers that the suspicions of possible irregularities regarding influences to obtain cleaning contracts with the Tapia de Casariego City Council, alleged measures to favor the extension of a cleaning contract in Siero, or conversations about garbage contracts in Cangas, are not founded. of the Narcea. Nor does it see any illegality in the hiring of cleaning personnel for the headquarters of the PP in San Martín del Rey Aurelio or on the web page of the regional PP in the 2911 campaign. the instruction has been closed. Nor does it consider the temporary hiring by Fusba of Joaquín Fernández for commercial work through the company he had to be illegal.
