Suspended the declaration of ex-councillors and ex-interventors of the Trujillo City Council in the 'Casero case'

MADRID, 9 Dic. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The statement as witnesses scheduled for December 12 and 13 of former workers of the Trujillo City Council (Cáceres) before the Supreme Court judge who is instructing the so-called 'Homemade case' have been suspended without a date, as confirmed to Europa Press legal sources.

It was expected that magistrate Andrés Palomo would listen as witnesses to councilors and auditors of the consistory as part of the investigations into the former mayor of the PP Alberto Casero for alleged crimes of prevarication and embezzlement as a result of certain agreements and service contracts that he carried out when he was mayor of said municipality in 2017 and 2018.

Specifically, the judge called Álvaro Casas, former secretary of the Trujillo City Council, to court; Jesús Hernández, former interim inspector; and Rafael Rebollo, former Councilor for Youth and Education.

The instructor also agreed to listen to Soledad Corrales, former councilor delegate for Social Services; José Antonio Ramos, former inspector; and José Luis Bermejo, a municipal official who was then secretary of the Gender Violence Commission.

The Supreme Court took this step after Congress authorized on October 6 to proceed criminally against Casero. In a reasoned exposition, Palomo detailed indications that the then mayor arranged with different people and entities, service contracts, sponsorship or agreements, "failing to comply with all kinds of formalities required for that purpose by the applicable regulations in each case."

The Supreme Court has been investigating the PP deputy since last March, when the Trujillo Court of First Instance and Instruction raised another reasoned statement in which the facts attributed to Casero were described as an alleged continued crime of administrative prevarication. The Prosecutor's Office, for its part, understood that there were also indications of an alleged crime of embezzlement.
