Iberdrola suspects that the ex-commissioner Jose Manuel Villarejo spied on the president of the electricity company, Ignacio Sánchez Galán, for the top manager of ACS, Florentino Pérez. This is pointed out by a report prepared by the former commissioner on a relationship between a manager of the electricity company, Jose Manuel Alvarez – referred to as Chema-, who was in charge of general services, and is in the hands of Judge Manuel García Castellón, who has the so-called ‘Tandem case’, after handing it over to the legal services of the electric company. The president of ACS and Real Madrid fought an intense struggle to gain control of Iberdrola that began in the mid-2000s and did not end until 2012.
The analysis, commissioned in March 2009 and called ‘Gipsy Project’ and to which EL PERIÓDICO DE CATALUNYA has had access, notes that the president of ACS and Real Madrid continued “obsessively looking for data that directly affects the president of IB (Iberdrola)” and suggests that he could have tried to access the bag of confidential documentation and internal to Iberdrola through “a person of trust”. Villarejo, in any case, who carried out the work through society Research and Analysis Office (GIA), could not determine contacts of Álvarez or people close to him with the owner of ACS, beyond “soccer hobbies.”
In any case, the report, commissioned to determine if the former director Álvarez received commissions and if there was “an approach with Flo (Florentino Pérez) in order to collect sensitive data that affected the president of IB (Iberdrola), that stage that “a person you trust” (referring to Florentino Pérez), “has contacted a few dates ago with a certain Julián Ramos, apparently responsible for a firm called Six“. And he adds:” the interest of Flo (Florentino Pérez) in this firm, Servicios Organizados de Distribución, SL., whose administrator is Antonio Martínez Toledano, could be based on the fact that the company in question is the one who orders the bag of confidential documents from IB (Iberdrola), among others those of the president himself. “This is internal and confidential documentation that is It refers between the company’s operational headquarters in Madrid to the headquarters in Bilbao.
Competence
In turn, the ex-commissioner’s analysis reinforces this thesis by stating that the Kroll signature, who worked for Flo (Florentino Pérez) in tasks “of business strategy in relation to detecting competition with privileged information and design of expansion plans abroad, is apparently the one who has pointed out this vulnerability of IB (Iberdrola), by to point out Seodis as a firm with little infrastructure, which would be using third-level courier companies that subcontract at very low cost for tasks as delicate as the correspondence and sensitive documentation of the IB staff “(Iberdrola).
The Iberdrola environment criticizes the fact that the magistrate Manuel García Castellón, relieved by illness by Joaquín Gadea, does not investigate these complaints of possible espionage to the electricity company based on the annotations in the agendas of the former commissioner and the reports prepared by the same . Sánchez Galán must testify on January 18 for his imputation for the orders that the company would have made to the now retired commissioner José Manuel Villarejo.

On December 10, the chairman of Iberdrola appealed his summons claiming that at this precise moment it would render him “defenseless”, since he considers that it is based solely on a false report, which attributes to the former director Jose Antonio del Olmo, whose investigation is pending a decision by the examining magistrate himself. The judge denied this claim.
The struggle between the two firms does not stop. The president of ACS, personified as a private accusation in the piece on Iberdrola’s espionage against its competitors, presented last month a letter in which he claimed an imputation from the power company parent, not only from the subsidiary Iberdrola Renovables, and the He accused of exercising a veiled defense of his highest position, according to ‘El Confidencial’. Iberdrola, for its part, asked the judge to exclude Florentino Pérez from the accusation of the ‘Tandem case’ on the grounds that he used the condition of injured party to carry out unfair competition and sabotage company operations.
