Fuentes Curbelo leaves Congress with 509.25 in his checking account, less than when he arrived

During his time as deputy, he bought a local, settled debts for 75,000 euros and contracted others of 208,200 euros

MADRID, 10 Mar. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The former socialist deputy from the Canary Islands Juan Bernardo Fuentes Curbelo, nicknamed 'Tito Berni' and alleged ringleader of the 'Mediator' plot, left Congress with 509.25 euros in his checking account and during his time as deputy he increased his assets with the purchase of a local . In these three years he has settled debts worth almost 75,000 euros, but has acquired new ones valued at a total of 208,200 euros corresponding to six bank guarantees.

This is stated in the declaration of assets that he registered in Congress after resigning on February 14, fulfilling the obligation that all his lordships have when leaving the seat.

In this exit statement, to which Europa Press has had access, Fuentes Curbelo declares that he has 509.25 euros in a Cajamar checking account, less than the 2,120 that he deposited in February 2020 when he took office.

Then he reported an income of 3,467 euros per month as general director of the Canary Islands Government, the position where the plot was born and caused the arrest of his successor and nephew, and now he records 80,731.14 euros received from Congress and details that he paid 13,652, 26 euros of personal income tax corresponding to 2021, a piece of information that he did not provide in his first declaration of assets.

In Congress, he has received a salary of around 4,900 euros each month, including the basic allowance of 3,126.89 and 958.75 euros of compensation to cover expenses in Madrid.

The former deputy continues to own the two cars he bought in 2004, and 50% of his single-family home and the rustic farm where he has his cattle farm, as well as a place in Puerto del Rosario that is listed as the registered office of the companies in those who have shares.

Last year he bought another store next to the one he already had, for which he requested a bank guarantee of 52,200 euros of which 49,824.70 remain to be paid. In total during his time in Congress, Fuentes Curbelo removed 55,105.71 euros from the 250,000-euro mortgage that Cajamar granted him in 2004 (he has just over 20,000 left).

He has also been able to settle close to 20,000 euros of four guarantees that he requested between 2014 and 2018, but in these three years the same entity has granted him six new guarantees for a total of 208,200 euros, of which he still has to pay some 167,000 euros.

In addition, during this period, Fuentes Curbelo ceased to be the administrator of two companies: Travel Trend Group, dedicated to tourist intermediation and in which it had a 3% stake, and TISMECA SL, of agricultural, forestry and livestock exploration, and in which had 5%.

It does retain shares with the same value as three years ago in Asesoría Tetir (7,000 euros), although it no longer presents itself as an administrator. Also in Tetir Livestock (50,000 euros), although he no longer specifies whether he maintains the 50% that he declared in 2020; in Quesos de Tetir (where previously it did detail that it had 30% holding shares valued at 15,000 euros and it does not yet clarify that it owns 50% of Promociones Verol SL, an electrical installation company, in which, yes, it holds shares for about 12,000 euros.

As detailed in his statement of exit assets, the livestock farm managed by Ganadería Tetir y Quesos de Tetir is located on a rustic farm in Puerto del Rosario where he maintains his single-family home, and has 333 goats, 31 sheep, 24 rabbits , 10 birds and four horses. In 2020, he declared that he had received about 40,000 euros in subsidies for the exploitation and cheese making.
