Judge Manuel García Castellón has decided to investigate the founder of Podemos Juan Carlos Monedero for money laundering and false documents in relation to transfers between his company, Caja de Resistencia Motiva 2 Producciones SL, with the company VIU Europa and Banco del Alba for the preparation of an advisory report on the financial spheres of the countries of the Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples of Our America (ALBA).
In an order, the magistrate explains that the Criminal Chamber, in the resolution by which it agreed to file the investigation for illegal financing of Podemos, indicated that if the court deemed it appropriate, it would deduct testimony for the investigation of economic crimes and falsehoods .
In this sense, García Castellón's order explains that from the analysis of the documentation provided by the UDEF there are suspicions that some of the documents provided by VIU Europa SL, following a police request, "could present obvious inaccuracies between the date of creation of the file and the date that appears on the same document”.
