The Court of Instruction number one of the National Court that investigates the so-called 'Operation Soule' is currently tracking the bank accounts of the Fedentain Centabra de Ftbol to determine if its president used a public grant granted by the Higher Sports Council (CSD) to pay personal expenses.

The federation chaired by Jos Angel Pelez On March 7, 2014, he received a total of 210,000 euros for the construction of the Santa Ana soccer fields in Tanos (Torrelavega) and entered the amount a few days later, on the 12th, in one of his accounts in the Caixabank entity.

The Central Operating Unit of the Civil Guard has prepared a report, to which EL MUNDO has had access, in which it makes available to the judge Santiago Pedraz Excerpts from the account in which the subsidy for the football fields was entered, where numerous charges were carried out that are being investigated between the date of admission and May 2016.

Among the charges being analyzed are countless restaurant payments in Cantabria, in service stations and some concepts appear that have attracted the attention of researchers such as “holiday” payments through the travel agency Edreams just a month after the controversial grant was taken into account.

Pelez is currently under investigation in the summary of the 'Soule case', in addition to the referred subsidy, for the interception of a conversation with the former president of the Spanish Royal Federation of Soccer (RFEF), Angel Mara Villar, in which Pelez told him that he has 5.2 million euros of the federal budget “for what you put the eggs”. This statement was collected in the car that led to prison in Villar. In this conversation, he implied that these funds could be used in a discretionary manner under the generic name of “amateur football.”

Pelez defended himself by saying that the phrase had been taken out of context and with regard to the subsidy of the football field, he has always ensured that “the funds were taken into account”.
