Immorality has no criminal reproach, but the description of what Luis Medina Abascal and Alberto Luceño Cerón committed in March 2020 serves the judge and the prosecutor’s office to explain their accusation of aggravated fraud, falsification of documents – public and private – and a tax crime. which the two members of Madrid’s privileged class face. At the most critical moment experienced in Spain since the Civil War, with 74,839 deaths from Covid that year alone, the two defendants deceived the Madrid City Council to obtain 6 million euros in commissions for health protection products that saved lives and whose value real was up to 80% less.
Medina and Abascal will be the first two “businessmen”, according to how they describe themselves, who will sit in the dock for taking advantage of the flow of public funds that the pandemic forced to release. The masks case, as it was called when elDiario.es revealed its existence on March 31, 2022, is one of the few investigations that have prospered so far. The order opening the oral trial issued by Judge Adolfo Carretero last Thursday indicates that the hearing at the Provincial Court of Madrid will be held, at the earliest, in the second half of 2024, if the delay in the courts does not postpone it to 2025.
