The UDEF is suspicious of the documentation you provided Juan Carlos Purse to justify the collection of 26,200 euros from the Mexican consulting firm Neurona Consulting. The Judicial Police presented on March 4, a year after the Madrid judge Juan José Escalonilla called the co-founder of Podemos to testify as under investigation, a 41-page report in which he reached the same conclusion as his previous trades: “The consultancy work that Juan Carlos Monedero claims to have provided could not be accredited“.
The agents insist that it is actually “a false invoice”, prepared ‘ad hoc’, in order to “mask the real reason” for which he received funds from Neurona Consulting. This consultant was hired by United We Can to help him in an electoral campaign of 2019 in exchange for the payment of 431,243 euros.
In the conclusions of the report addressed to the Madrid magistrate, the UDEF explains that after consulting the emails provided by Monedero to justify the work for which it claims to have received the Neurona funds, it has not been possible to verify the reality of the dates of the messages: “Since they were provided in printed documentary support, and when access was requested to clarify the facts, Juan Carlos Monedero refused to do so“.
The Court of Madrid
In this sense, the Provincial Court of Madrid rejected the request that Vox had made, which exercises the popular accusation in the Neuron caseso that Judge Escalonilla copied all the emails about the conversations between Juan Carlos Monedero and Andrea Lopez Fernandezone of the partners of the Spanish subsidiary of the Mexican consulting firm called Neurona Consulting.
The magistrates highlighted that in the case of Monedero it had not been necessary for Judge Escalonilla to issue a reasoned order to seize his emails, but on the contrary “the interested party himself” had expressly authorized “the interferencebut only with respect to those four emails”, which was precisely what I had agreed the magistrate, who understood that for the time being they were sufficient to clarify the facts.
Likewise, the Judicial Police defends that the documentation provided by Monedero to justify the collection of funds from the Mexican consultancy refers in full to conferences and presentations made by him in Mexico, Argentina and Colombia: “Not being found links with the mercantile Neurona Consulting SA”, concludes the police official.
A ticket paid by Podemos
And as an indication of the absence of this relationship, the UDEF defends that the plane tickets in which Monedero traveled to the cities where the conferences took place were not paid for by Neurona: “Entities such as the Podemos party, the Envigado University Institution of Colombia, the Autonomous University of Mexico did it. and through the bank card of the executive secretary of the Latin American Council of Social Sciences. Only one ticket was paid using a card entitled Juan Carlos Monedero”.
The Prosecutors of the National Court, Anticorruption and the Community of Madrid have not detected that Podemos and its charges and ex-charges have been able to commit crimes in the three cases that were opened against this political formation, according to the documentation to which it has had access EL PERIÓDICO DE ESPAÑA, a newspaper that belongs to the same group as this medium, It is specifically about the cases NeuronDina Bousselham and the irregular financing of political formation denounced by the former Venezuelan general Hugo Armando Carvajal, known by the alias of El Pollo.
