Overview

  • An investigating judge opened an oral trial over alleged irregularities tied to Valencian-language media subsidies between 2015 and 2018.
  • The order cites sufficient indications of a continuous offense of falsifying commercial documents in concurrence with aggravated fraud.
  • Bail was set at €147,589.29 for Francis Puig and €99,614.33 for Juan Enrique Adell Bover, with asset seizure or corporate responsibility if unpaid.
  • The court excluded subsidy fraud by applying the pre-2019 rule requiring defrauded amounts above €120,000, noting the alleged undue sum was about €67,500.
  • The Audiencia Provincial de Valencia will hear the case, prosecutors seek up to four years and ten months in prison, and two firms are named as subsidiarily civilly liable.
