Francisco González (BBVA) ordered not to appear in Villarejo’s reports

by

The former president of BBVA, Francisco González, transmitted to his subordinates from the beginning the order that his name, nor that of the entity, appear in any report prepared by Villarejo in his espionage investigations.

This follows from a conversation held by the former Chief of Security, Julio Corrochano, and the expoliation in 2005, in full offensive to control the bank by Sacyr. The conversation is included in the summary of the National Court that analyzes the case, following information submitted by the National Police.

In the dialogue that Corrochano had with Villarejo, the former made it clear at all times that its president cannot appear. “Those things (in reference to the investigations) are had, but they are not known because the origin of any site is not seen, nor in any paper that appears neither FG nor anything, …. an obsession”, indicates the then Chief of Security to the expoliation. This act immediately indicates: “It is not to appear at all.”

Corrochano, then, insists on transmitting the message given by direct chief, then, the person in charge of the Control and Human Resources area, Ángel Cano. “It is not to appear on paper, not to appear in anything that can identify the entity,” “that gives a real terror of the host.” Then Villarejo replies: “I understand, I understand, I understand.”

In the conversation, the former Chief of Security of the bank also asks the ex-commissioner that the reports he produces are summarized in a few pages, since both Cano and Gonzalez are horrified to read extensive dossiers. “What I want is the three or four pages that no one has to read but my president,” says Corrochano, who confesses that he is being questioned by González.

It gives a terror of the host, said Corrochano

Then, Villarejo had been hired by the bank to investigate Sacyr shareholders and important politicians, such as Miguel Sebastián, who supported the construction's assault. To do this, allegedly, the police used punctures and illegal wiretapping, which Corrochano was aware of at least.
