His name is Marco Antonio Navarro Tacoronte but, in reality, it is his role as mediator that has given its name to the alleged corruption scheme which would be led by the former deputy of the PSOE, Juan Bernardo Fuentes. According to the summary of the “Mediator case”, Fuentes would have taken advantage of his position and position to demand commissions from employers in exchange for expediting procedures and accelerating the granting of aid. He would have even invited these businessmen to meetings in the Congress of Deputies to impress them and where they closed the agreements; later, they celebrated them at private parties with drugs and prostitutes.
And it is he, Marco Antonio Navarro, who has now decided to break his silence to explain, in an interview with Antena 3 Noticias, each of the details of this plot. “I don’t want to call it a plot. I prefer to call it the circus: there is a director who orchestrates everything, lions, zebras… and clowns“.

What was your specific role? “My role,” she explains, was “to intercede. Decisions were made in Madrid, in Congress, and Juan Bernardo Fuentes was the main link“. Navarro refers to the former deputy of the PSOE, forced to leave his record, but also involves the current Canarian president, Ángel Victor Torres. “He called Ángel Victor” so that he was informed “but everything left Madrid and all the businessmen passed by Congress.”
“Everything was paid for with money in effect. It was a routine”

I thought that would be enough but it fell short. Everything was paid for with cash. It was a routine.” The presence of drugs and alcohol in those meetings and parties was, according to him, continuous: “Girls, viagra, cocaine… Everything you can imagine and more. There were drugs, alcohol and, as the song says, rock and roll“.
“I committed my crimes and I will pay for them”
