Salvador Alba is a career judge, he became a magistrate of the Provincial Court of Las Palmas. His job was to impart justice but in 2015 he began to carry out some maneuvers to harm his partner Victoria Rosell who had just been taken to jail.
The Supreme Court ruled in November 2021 a sentence of six and a half years in prison, 18 years of disqualification and a fine of 12,150 euros in addition to the deposit in a bank account of the 60,000 that must be paid to Victoria Rosell as compensation, for the crimes of judicial prevarication, bribery and falsehood in public documents.
The high court considered it proven that he manipulated an investigator to testify against Victoria Rosell's husband and thus harm her politically, once he had abandoned the judicial career to enter the Podemos lists.
As has been proven in various sentences, he maneuvered in his court to harm Rosell. The scene was the following. There was a Minister of Industry, José Manuel Soria, who filed a complaint against Rosell, who held the title of a Court of Instruction in the Canary Islands and who had been signed to be a candidate in Podemos.
During his time as a judge, Rosell had investigated a businessman, Miguel Ángel Ramírez. The magistrate abandoned the judicial career to go into politics and Alba requested to occupy her Court, under an established plan that consisted of entangling the investigation of Ramírez so that Rosell would be splashed. That would come in handy for the Soria lawsuit.
Alba summoned Ramírez to his office and offered to cancel the case for which he was being investigated for tax fraud if he admitted in court that he had paid Rosell's husband.
And the businessman did it, delivered documentation that was later published in the press. Rosell had to step back from politics in the face of these attacks, but what Alba did not count on is that his plans had been recorded by Ramírez and have been the basis for his conviction.
Since the Supreme Court handed down the sentence in November 2021, the former judge has used all kinds of tricks to avoid going to jail and buy time for a possible pardon.
Among other things, he has gone against the president of the TSJC, Juan Luis Lorenzo Bragado, whom he has challenged to prevent him from executing the sentence handed down by the Supreme Court.
He has also alleged several illnesses that would prevent him from flying to the peninsula, where the penitentiary centers where he could enter, specific for officials, are located. All the forensic reports have proved him wrong.
