The Alquería case is already facing the final stretch. Yesterday the accusation of the defense of three of the four former executives of Imelsa-Divalterra tried (José Ramón Tiller, Agustina Brines and Xavier Simón) and two of the hired executives.
The defenses insist in their final reports that no one warned that the contracts could be illegal. And in some of those allegations That “nobody” bears the names and surnames of the former legal director of Imelsa-Divalterra, José Luis Verawho testified as witnesses at the trial and who yesterday they again indicated several defenses as guarantors of legality and that they should have warned if there was any problem.
«Neither Vera nor anyone else doubted the contracts. She even told my client that nothing was illegal, and that there was no doubt (…) she was the highest legal figure in Imelsa ». assured Javier Boix, lawyer of the former manager of Compromis, Agustina Brines. So when Vera made her contract report, “Due to the informant’s high regard, they deemed it settled. It’s over. And from there Agustina Brines acted»the lawyer stressed.
Lawyer Javier Boix believes the anti-corruption prosecutor “accuses all executives at once, so one did (without specifying who he was)». Furthermore accuse his “large” for the crimes of prevarication or falsehood. “We are facing a socio-administrative case rather than a criminal one”said lawyer Javier Boix.
Attorney Antonio Bruno Romero, defense attorney for José Ramón Tiller, also indicated José Luis Vera, the first coach of Imelsa in the stage of Jorge Rodríguez. Curiously, Bruno Romero is the one who defends Vera in the Azud case. “The continuation [Anticorrupción] he does not emphasize the issue of Vera’s contract [como alto directivo].
According to the criteria of the Public Prosecutor’s Office, he too should be accused, following the argument of the Public Prosecutor’s Office in dialectical terms”.denounced the lawyer Antonio Bruno.
He remembered it too Vera, “hired as a jurist, champion of legality and the fight against corruption (…) blessed the legality of executive contracts up to the last minutealthough he said in his trial statement that these contracts were illegal. It is a juggling exercise to defend the position of [José Luis] Vera» said Tiller’s lawyer in the Alquería case and Vera himself in the Azud case.
About The third former manager of Imelsa-Divalterra tried, Xavier Simón, his lawyer Nuria de Antonio also criticized that “a package has been made to accuse the three managers” in Imelsa-Divalterra. And he argued in his defense that Simón, appointed on November 21, 2017, can only be charged with the last two senior management contracts approved in 2018 but “No communication has been found before the hiring, nor any relationship with the two appointees, nor with the presidency of the Diputación de València. there was no collusion», defended the lawyer to ask for the acquittal of his client.
Finally, the lawyers of two of the former executives hired defended that their defendants were doing their job, so they could not commit prevarications or falsehoods. One of them even had words for José Luis Vera. «The signing was given by the tranquility that ‘Ronaldo of the certainty of the law’ gave them, which then apparently wasn’t that much.he assured.
