The magistrate investigating the Mediator case, Ángeles Lorenzo-Cáceres, has agreed to send the proceedings carried out to date to the European Public Prosecutor's Office so that it can verify if there are facts that fall within its competence.
"Given the status of these proceedings," it is appropriate to issue a letter to that prosecutor's office to see if in this case there has been a diversion of European funds, explains the magistrate in her order.
According to the summary, it is possible that there could be an alleged diversion of European funds, which is why the magistrate has made this request.
Specifically, the material for which the instructor has addressed the European Public Ministry are the actions that refer to the project of the International and Ibero-American Foundation for Administration and Public Policies (Fiiapp) to strengthen the capacity of Rapid Action Groups Surveillance and Intervention, which work within the gendarmerie of six African countries.
The project was directed until 2021 by the General of the Civil Guard Francisco Espinosa Navas, the only one of the members of the plot that the judge has sent to jail. Judge Lorenzo-Cáceres investigates a network led, presumably, by the general and by former Socialist deputy Juan Bernardo Fuentes Curbelo, Tito Berni for the plot.
The police investigators, in their first conclusions, indicated that the members of the "criminal group", as the judge refers to it, charged 'bites' in exchange for money and gifts.
The investigators maintain that the group pursued "an obvious lucrative purpose by obtaining economic enrichment as well as different personal benefits as a result of illegal actions."
