Ángel Ramón Tejera de León recalls that he has only testified in Ávila in relation to the awards he received in this province, but not on the works that he was awarded in twelve other Civil Guard headquarters
The canarian builder Angel Ramon Tejera de Leonalias ‘Mon’, accused in the Cuarteles case after receiving allegedly irregular awards for renovation works in Civil Guard barracks for a value of 3.3 million euros, considers it “surprising” that the judge investigating the procedure in Madrid , María Isabel Durántez, to investigate him for the crimes of continuous falsification of an official document, embezzlement of public funds and bribery.
This is stated in a letter signed on May 9 from Santa Cruz de Tenerife by the businessman’s lawyer, in which he criticizes the fact that the aforementioned crimes are attributed to him “without having taken a statement from those investigated, in view of the fact that the only statement that has been taken was in relation to the works of the Ávila barracks“.
The so-called ‘Barracks case’ was opened by the head of the Investigating Court number 1 of Ávila after to verify alleged irregularities in the adjudications of reform in the barracks of this province of Castilla y León.
the investigation advances
However, after agreeing to the indictment of Lieutenant General of the Civil Guard Pedro Vázquez Jarava, the investigator refrained from appearing in the Madrid courts, falling to the Court of Instruction number 3 of Madridwhose owner is the magistrate Maria Isabel Durantez.
That is why the lawyer from Tejera de León recalls that since the case was opened by the Investigating Court number 1 of Ávila, “the investigation has been extended to at least 13 other Civil Guard command posts”, without hearing those investigated for the new events, “without even specifying to date the period being analyzed, the number of command posts, the number of works, and any other element necessary for the possible imputation”.
The builder’s lawyer therefore stresses that the statement of those investigated must be understood as “a right that is part of a process with all the necessary guarantees whose violation would lead to the nullity of any investigation procedure“. And it is not enough, continues the lawyer, that those investigated have testified in Ávila, since their testimonies were limited “solely and exclusively” to the execution of the contracts of this command.
Vazquez Jarava
The only procedure that has been carried out in the Court of Madrid, continues the defense of the Lanzarote builder, was the declaration of Lieutenant General Vázquez Jarava, “and without having carried out the expert reports“.
Thus, the lawyer concludes, “it is impossible to delimit the facts when We are waiting for the designated judicial experts to proceed to examine the worksand what is most relevant is how the dismissal is going to be imputed or requested when there are no reports that determine if there has been any type of irregularity”.
