Madrid Court Upholds Indictment of Ayuso’s Partner Over Alleged Tax Fraud

The appellate ruling rejects new evidence requests, leaving the oral trial set with prosecutors seeking three years and nine months.

Overview

  • The Provincial Court of Madrid dismissed the defense appeal and confirmed the charges of two counts of tax fraud and falsification of commercial documents against Alberto González Amador.
  • Judges said the defense’s proposed testimonies and a late expert report were neither necessary nor useful, so no further pre‑trial evidence will be taken.
  • The ruling leaves the opening of the oral trial definitive after Judge Carmen Rodríguez‑Medel already ordered it in September.
  • Tax authorities attribute about €350,910 in alleged evasion through 15 invoices and an interposed company; the State Prosecutor and State Attorney request three years and nine months in prison, while PSOE and Más Madrid seek five years and additional offenses.
  • A related probe into an alleged €500,000 bribe tied to Quirón contracts remains active, and the State Prosecutor General is on trial at the Supreme Court over an alleged leak linked to this case.
