The trial against Luis Medina and Alberto looks for their commissions in the sale of sanitary material to the Madrid City Council starts on Tuesday at the Provincial Court of Madrid. Naty Abascal’s son has arrived after 9.30 am, without giving statements and with serious gesture, like his partner, businessman Alberto Luceño. The litigation, which will occupy seven sessions, will determine what its future will be after being investigated by the millionaire commissions that both obtained when inflating the prices of the masks and gloves sold until twice their value, which meant the disbursement of about 11 million euros by public coffers. For the son of the late Duke of Fair, the Anti -Corruption Prosecutor’s Office requests nine years and ten months in prison. For your partner, 15.
The Chamber will be silent when Judge Adolfo Carretero, who has already been seen before in cases like the one facing Íñigo Errejón and Elisa Mouliaá, take his seat. This Tuesday your eyes will be fixed in the documents that delineated the alleged fraud: inflated prices, low quality material and empty promises. Known for his hard tone when performing the interrogations, he will try to find out what were the true intentions of the commission agents during the hardest time of the pandemic.
Anticorruption specifies that “the 6.24 euros that the Madrid City Council paid to the two commission agents for each of the million masks It was, with great difference, the highest than a Spanish City Council of more than three hundred thousand inhabitants paid for this type of product. The prosecutor’s letter says that “the intention of the two defendants was to enrich themselves exaggerated at the expense of the situation of extreme need and lack of health materials, selling the products for a price much higher than the one offered by the suppliers.” The truth is that Medina had always been a cover man. Photos in Yates, dinner in Marbella, endless parties and a long etc. of luxuries marked their agenda. Luceño, meanwhile, was more practical. He bought cars, watches and a house. They did not waste time to spend what did not belong to them.
New recording between Luis Medina and Elena Collado
Elena Collado, the official who worked directly with them, is among the key witnesses. She was responsible for coordinating purchases of sanitary material for the City Council. According to the documents, at first he believed in the promises. Medina and Luceño presented themselves as saviors in the midst of an unprecedented crisis. But soon the irregularities came to light. Collado found gloves equal than they had sold, but at a much lower price in a supermarket. It was then that he sent a clear message to Luceño: “They have scammed us for sure. This is the worst thing that happened to me in life”.

In the recording, Medina warns of Collado that the masks they sell have a cost of two euros at the factorybut that are being sold in shops at a price of six and eight euros.

People are selling them to $ 6, but in factory they cost us 2 dollars. I could make a donation to you of 100,000. I do not comment or anything because I have to get them first, but, really, I would be happy to make you a donation, “Medina told Collado.
