EDATV Aldama Puts Companies in Check Over ''Commission Payments'' in Public Awards
Aldama claims that Azvi submitted bids to ADIF tenders for the construction of sections of the Murcia-Almería High-Speed Mediterranean Corridor
Víctor de Aldama Has Submitted a Document to the Supreme Court. He Provides New Evidence on Alleged Commission Payments for Public Works Contracts.
He Points to the Construction Company Azvi, Led by Manuel Contreras, as a Beneficiary of Contracts in Exchange for Commissions. Azvi Denies These Accusations and Unsuccessfully Requested the Supreme Court to File a Lawsuit Against Aldama for Defamation.
The Document Includes a Draft Contract Between Azvi and Grupo Vivir, a Company Linked to Aldama. In It, Azvi Reserved Works on the Site of the Former Sevilla Swimming Club.
He Also Provides Emails That Would Demonstrate That Contreras Used Aldama and Koldo García as Intermediaries. They Arranged Meetings with the Director General of Roads, Javier Herrero.
Aldama Claims That Azvi Submitted Bids for ADIF Tenders for the Construction of Sections of the Murcia-Almería High-Speed Mediterranean Corridor. Judge Leopoldo Puente, of the Supreme Court, Has Stated That Aldama's Accusations About Commission Payments in Transport Are Not Minimally Substantiated.
In Addition to Azvi, Aldama Mentions Other Companies Such as Levantina Ingeniería y Construcción. He Admits to Having Received Commissions of Almost 100,000 Euros for His Intermediation in Million-Euro Contracts from the Ministry of Transport During José Luis Ábalos's Administration.
The Supreme Court Has Indicated That Aldama's Claims Against the Government Are Not Minimally Verified. Manuel Contreras, President of Azvi, Requested Permission to File a Lawsuit Against Aldama. But Judge Leopoldo Puente Denied the Request Due to Lack of Sufficient Evidence.
The Investigation Also Covers Other Construction Companies Such as ASCH, Civis Global, Lantania SAU, and Ortiz Construcciones y Proyectos SA. Aldama Maintains That These Companies Obtained Public Works Contracts in Exchange for Commission Payments.
Judge Puente Has Scheduled a Series of Summonses and Statements to Clarify the Facts. Among Those Summoned Is Koldo García, Former Advisor to Ábalos, Who Will Undergo a Handwriting Test. Ábalos Will Also Testify Again as Part of This Investigation.
The Construction Company Azvi Has Dismantled Aldama's Accusations About a Commission Payment for a Public Work. An Email Reveals That the Alleged Commission Agent Ordered the Return of 18,000 Euros to Azvi's Owner. Amount That Correplied to a Deposit to Become a Member of a Sports Club, and Not a Bribe.
Aldama Has Admitted to the Supreme Court That He Collected Commissions for Securing Contracts from Ábalos's Ministry. In a 37-Page Document, He Details Earnings of Almost 100,000 Euros from Companies Like Levantina Ingeniería y Construcción and Grupo Azvi. These Payments Would Have Been Made Thanks to His Intermediation for These Companies to Obtain Million-Euro Contracts from the Ministry of Transport.
The Supreme Court Has Expedited the Investigation into José Luis Ábalos Following the Suspension of His Parliamentary Immunity. The Former Minister of Transport Is Being Investigated for Corruption Allegations Filed by Aldama. Who Claims That Ábalos Collected Commissions for Major Works on Ten Highways.
