Alberto González Amador, the companion of the president of the Community of Madrid, Isabel Díaz Ayuso, has been summoned to testify as an investigator for two tax crimes and one of document falsification for having used front companies and issuing false invoices to reduce the maximum corporate tax. The Tax Agency, in charge of inspecting your company, has detected fraud of 350,000 euros in two fiscal years.
The surprising data of his company, with an increase in business volume of eight times more in two years, with a tax payment quota of four times less, set off all the alarms to the treasury, which discovered that what González had achieved was reduce their tax base by issuing false invoices as expenses in order to stop paying the Treasury what they really owed.
Until yesterday, Díaz Ayuso's entourage had called both the AEAT investigation and the Prosecutor's complaint an operation orchestrated by La Moncloa to destroy her politically. However, the order of admission to processing and summons as an investigation of his partner, Alberto González Amador, as well as four other people that he would have used for false billing, has meant a change of script.
The 'popular' leader has suffered severe wear and tear since the alleged fraud of her partner, with whom she lives, became known. The president of the PP, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, or she herself will have to decide which firewall will be used to stop this crisis.
The head of the Court of Instruction number 19 of Madrid has initiated preliminary proceedings for two alleged crimes of tax fraud and an alleged crime of forgery in a commercial document against González Amador, after receiving the complaint from the Prosecutor's Office. González Amador's entourage intends to take advantage of a possible annulment of the proceedings because the public ministry announced through a statement to the press the negotiations it had held with the businessman's defense in search of an agreement that would stop the judicial process. .
The public ministry decided to make public a chronology of the events after Díaz Ayuso's political environment intentionally leaked those negotiations in a biased manner. In fact, the Madrid Bar Association has denounced the Prosecutor's Office for having provided information about González's attempt to seek an agreement, acknowledge the facts and pay a fine to avoid a trial. However, tax sources assume that this would in no case justify annulment of the proceedings.
This matter began with an inspection by the Treasury of González in May 2022, and which ended with a complaint from the Tax Agency, through the State Attorney's Office and another from the Prosecutor's Office, for the possible commission of three crimes.
What Ayuso's partner is accused of is using front companies to issue invoices for work not performed and thus reduce corporate tax as much as possible. According to the AEAT report, to which La Vanguardia has access, with this system of falsehoods, Ayuso's partner paid four times less in taxes in 2020, earning eight times more than in 2018 when he received 9,371 euros as a tax fee for a figure of business of 358,773 euros.
Specifically, in 2020 it invoiced 2,339,111 euros thanks to having brokered a mask business in the middle of the pandemic and paid 2,806 euros as a tax fee, after declaring only as a tax base (what remains between income and expenses, 11,233 euros). This figure means that you paid 0.12% Corporate Tax. In 2021, he balanced the data a little and invoiced 1.3 million euros, for which he paid 9,000 euros in taxes.
Along with Alberto González, a “possible front man” is also being investigated, a Mexican citizen named Maximiliano Eduardo N. G. He would have issued two invoices for 1.6 million euros for work not performed, one through a company in Mexico and the other from Ivory Coast. During the inspection he admitted that he had no income and only lived off help from his mother. González tried to cancel these invoices when he was discovered by the treasury, but his trick failed to convince the inspector.
The other three investigated are three men from Arahal, in the Sevillian countryside, who created companies with practically no activity to issue invoices for supposedly having produced health certificates for Marxell, González's company, which in turn were destined for the Quirón hospital group.
The judge describes how the Tax Agency calls González's behavior "mendacious" with the aim of "reducing and even completely neutralizing his taxation."
