Overview
- On the first day of hearings, Granados’s counsel argued the charges are time-barred and asked the court to void the accusations.
- Two defendants — ex-Valdemoro mayor José Miguel Moreno and former Moraleja de Enmedio councillor Ricardo Godino — said they will confess after reaching deals with prosecutors.
- Anticorruption prosecutors request six years in prison for Granados for fraud and prevarication, while the PSOE and Adade seek sentences of up to 38 years.
- Also on trial are ex-senator David Erguido and former PP mayors from Valdemoro, Móstoles, Ciempozuelos, and Moraleja de Enmedio, who face prison and disqualification demands.
- Investigators describe a scheme in which Waiter Music secured rigged awards as its late owner provided unpaid extras and gifts; the judge set Granados’s civil liability at €300,000 when closing the probe in 2021.
