Overview

  • During a voluntary hearing before Supreme Court magistrate Julián Sánchez Melgar, Alvise acknowledged accepting €100,000 in cash from CryptoSpain entrepreneur Álvaro Romillo.
  • He said he spent half on personal and professional costs and retains the remaining €50,000 in savings.
  • Alvise insisted none of the funds were used for Se Acabó la Fiesta’s 2024 European election campaign, which officially spent about €30,000.
  • A February UDEF report also flagged €7,000 in suspect transfers via shell firms Sport Gamala SL and Somos Libres SL as possible additional illicit financing.
  • The court must now decide whether to request a waiver of his European Parliament immunity to pursue charges under Spain’s electoral and anti–money-laundering laws.
