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.
