The Rubiales plot sent cash to the Dominican Republic for the former president's projects

From February 2021 until the moment in which the operation against the corruption plot that fully affects the former president of the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) Luis Rubiales exploded, one of the detainees would have been traveling “frequently” to the Dominican Republic in the company of another of those arrested, Francisco Javier Martín Alcaide, known as Nene, to transport cash to make investments in which Rubiales would also participate.

This is one of the conclusions reached by the Central Operational Unit (UCO) of the Civil Guard in one of its reports that appears in the summary of the case to which La Vanguardia has had access. That man allegedly used to move money is Israel Dorado, who maintains a “direct personal and professional” relationship with Nene, a former soccer player who is a close friend of the former president of the RFEF.

But before that resignation after the scandal over the non-consensual kiss of the player and world champion Jenni Hermoso, Nene would have received “apparently unjustified benefits” from the construction company Grupo Conector SA, as alleged consideration for the contracting of construction projects of the company. RFEF. These benefits, according to the report, would have been channeled to the company Dismatec Sport, whose sole administrator is Nene's wife.

Well, Nene and his wife, as stated in the report, coincide “on numerous flights” with Israel Dorado, where the latter was “the visible face” of Nene's businesses in the Dominican Republic. In an intercepted telephone conversation between Nene and Dorado's wife, the former asks the latter to stop by his hotel to "pick something up," and if she can in a few days, to do it again to "do it little by little." little by little.” A day later, Israel Dorado travels to Miami.

In another of the conversations intervened by the Civil Guard agents, it emerges that the investments that the plot was making in the Dominican Republic would go to businesses in which Rubiales participated.
