New Accusations of Tax Fraud
Recently, a complaint has been filed against Alberto González Amador, partner of the president of the Community of Madrid, Isabel Díaz Ayuso, for allegedly defrauding the Treasury of more than 350,000 euros between 2020 and 2021. This accusation has been made by the Prosecutor’s Office Provincial of Madrid after receiving a report from the Tax Agency that details alleged irregularities committed by González Amador, who would have used false invoices and front companies to carry out this fraud.
Enrichment During the Pandemic
The investigation began two years ago, when the Treasury detected suspicious movements in the companies led by González Amador, who apparently became significantly richer during the coronavirus pandemic. According to the Tax Agency report, two crimes of tax fraud in corporate tax for a value of 155,000 and 195,951 euros are attributed to him, as well as a third of document falsification.
Use of Fake Invoices and Front Companies
According to Treasury calculations, the companies directed by González Amador would have presented up to fifteen false invoices for fictitious profits totaling 1.7 million euros. It is suspected that González Amador would have used this mechanism to deduct non-existent expenses, thus reducing the declared profits and the amount of taxes payable. In addition, it has been noted that one of the companies investigated does not have any paid employees, suggesting that it could have been used as a front company to divert funds.
Background Related to Ayuso’s Family
It should be noted that Isabel Díaz Ayuso’s brother was involved in a possible case of fraud due to the purchase of masks by the Community of Madrid during the first weeks of the pandemic. Although the European Prosecutor’s Office decided to archive the case considering that the price paid for this material was not inflated, this new case of alleged tax fraud linked to Ayuso’s partner once again calls into question the integrity of people close to the president of the community.
