Overview

  • National Police detained the manager on September 29 on suspicion of fraud, misappropriation and document falsification after the abrupt shutdown of Motos Copa in Valladolid.
  • An extensive report by the Economic and Fiscal Crime Unit consolidates at least 25 complaints and places direct losses at €100,950, excluding loan interest and ongoing repayments.
  • After being questioned, the suspect was released with charges and must appear before a judge when required.
