The mayor of Velilla de San Antonio on trial for the Termyca Case | Present

Candle of San Antonio

The Termyca Case in its Madrid version will make the mayor of Velilla de San Antonio, Antonia Alcázar, have to go to trial accused of an alleged crime of administrative prevarication. An accusation that the councilor publicly rejects, explaining that this controversial issue, which in 2016 caused a showy raid by the Civil Guard at the Torrejón de Ardoz City Hall, comes from before her accession to the mayor’s office. “When I arrived at the position I found a contract with signs of irregularities and the first thing I did was start the bidding to do it well,” Alcázar said in statements to SER Henares when the indictment was issued last March.

The mayor argued before the investigating judge, José Luis Calama, that “due to dates it is evident that I had nothing to do with it. In 2019 the full organization was in July and in November the first decree of the Department of Finance was already signed to start the tender with a framework agreement of the Spanish Federation of Municipalities and Provinces”. Arguments that have not been sufficient for her lawyer’s appeal to prosper, since the National Court estimates that it will be during the trial when those investigated must defend his innocence.

The deployment of the Civil Guard to register the City Council of Torrejón de Ardoz in 2016 is related to the person who was the auditor of this consistory, Lucía Mora, one of the main investigated. According to the court order, Mora contacted CGI to take over the management of the Municipal Housing Company, something that never happened. The Torrejon government assured that since 2010 there is no relationship with CGI or with its parent company EFIAL.

In Meco, the PP councilor Luis Gómez, then head of the Treasury department, is being investigated. The CGI consultancy is mainly dedicated to executive fundraising. According to the investigators, there was a network of fixes with politicians and municipal technicians to chop up contracts and elude the law, as well as to directly manage public companies.
