We all know about one of the two agents of the commission, who took six million euros of public money that had to go to buy masks to protect the staff of the Madrid City Council. Louis Medina Abascal is a member of the usual aristocracy of the Pink Chronicle, who said her life was practically the result of the union of the Duke of Feria and model Nati Abascal from birth. The other mediator was unknown to the general public until his name appeared in an anti-corruption prosecution complaint, following an investigation by elDiario.es. The complaint accuses him of claiming to be an Asian market expert, falsifying documents and even cheating on his own partner (and then-friend) to charge an even higher commission than they agreed outside the administration.
Alberto Luceno Seroni is a businessman with a bad career, known as an entrepreneur, and some references to his history explain that in 1993 he “won the Best Young Entrepreneur Award in Spain in the franchise sector”. The only award with a similar name is by the Spanish Young Entrepreneurs Confederation and, according to its website, was not awarded that year.
His resume is full of positions in areas such as the European School of Management and Business, the Ibero-American Sustainability Forum, the ACOTEX (2014) Board of Directors of the Textile Association, and later brands such as “Uno de 50” or “Poéte”. ‘. The most public face of his career left, for example, an intervention in front of school students, which has already been deleted from YouTube, but in which Luceno was explained explaining what his values were. “Honesty, generosity, humility, honesty,” he declared from the stage.
Part B of his business trip is in the Official Gazette of the Trade Register. In 2010, he became the sole administrator of the consulting firm Gekko. A year later, in addition, Luis Medina Abascal was appointed as the sole administrator of another consulting firm, called Gekko Partners. On the same day in April 2015, Lucienio was appointed as the sole administrator of three companies set up a month earlier: the consulting firm Trendstter Capsule, the consulting firm Fly Fishing and the third consulting firm Rip and Roll, all three registered offices in the same place. House in Madrid. Two months later he heads another consulting firm, Iprojects Diseño.
According to prosecutors, Luis Medina Abascal was born in 2020 long before this complex of companies, which was awarded eleven million euros by the Madrid City Council for the purchase of masks, antibodies and gloves. The contracts, which are now being investigated by a Madrid court47, had a juicy secret fee for both of them and were signed and collected a few months before the opening of their last company: Takamaka Invest. A company that has a website but does not have a contact phone number and is likely to be dedicated to “commercial brokerage or commission sales of various products, both nationally and internationally.”
The first official reference to international trade comes from his companies and societies, hence, after five million commissions were collected from the Madrid public line. But he presented himself to the Madrid City Council as an Asian market expert who could deliver medical supplies in times of great need and in the uncomfortable context of excessive prices and sometimes defective materials. Luis Medina took Abascal there, who in turn approached the City Council through Carlos Martinez-Almeida, the mayor’s first cousin and friend, who works for a private law firm and who had hitherto avoided giving explanations.
At a time when Spanish city councils were even searching for stones under the rubble and turning the international supply chain into a Persian market, Alberto Luchenio has emerged as the savior of basic service workers in the city of Madrid, where hundreds of people die daily from coronavirus. He said, according to anti-corruption officials, he was not just an expert in importing products from Asia: he boasted that he had factories at his disposal in China and was the exclusive agent of a Malaysian company that intended to import masks and gloves. In addition, he added, he did so “motivated by a desire to cooperate in the fight against the pandemic.”
The reality is that Luceno did not open his first and only company dedicated to imports and mediation until months later there were no traces of his factories in China, he had no significant experience in this sector and he was not Leno’s exclusive agent. The company, which was eventually signed by the Madrid City Council. Of course, according to the prosecution, he did not act “with any altruistic intent.” His and Louis Medina’s intent was to “obtain excessive and unjust economic benefits.” Six million euros, which would have reached 10, if the sale of the million-dollar batch of defective gloves, the return of which was requested by the City Council, would have been successful.
With more experience in the business world than his partner Medina Abascal, whose only job was to get into the City Council, as he himself admitted, Luceno then embarked on a parallel plan. He agreed to a few commissions with Medina, but from behind he managed to pay the Malaysian company tax on his back. For example, in a contract to sell a million masks, they both agreed that there was a $ 1 million commission on each, but he eventually got three million. In another contract it was he who decided that Medina would not collect his commission, but he guaranteed his own. Also, Luceno, according to the prosecution, cheated the council with the price of several gloves, which was not even what they demanded.
The millionaire’s collection plan was complicated when it came time to manage the loot. The money soon arrived from Malaysia in Madrid to the accounts of Luceno and Medina, who had to give explanations to the bank when the subjects asked them to substantiate this income. It was then that businessman Alberto Lucenio came across an article in the Criminal Code: Documentary Lie. He made several documents and signatures to justify his business relationship with the Malaysian company. And he helped Medina do the same with her own firm when she also had to answer to the bank for property newly arrived from Asia.
The prosecution is now investigating, in addition, whether it has decided to include its commissions in a legal course based on the outrageous path of luxury products: three hours, a dozen super-expensive cars, a house worth more than a million euros. The richest man from Spain, except for a week at the Marbella Hotel for more than 10,000 euros a night. Both Luis Medina and Alberto Luceno have testified before the anti-corruption prosecution and will soon have to do so before the 47th Court in Madrid, already as defendants and defendants in three crimes. Medina interviewed El Confidencial to acknowledge her commission and warned that everything is legal and that the figures are normal for this type of surgery. There are photos of him on the sailing boat, which he registered on behalf of the Gibraltar Company, with which he is sailing in Sotogrand, and even statements in the pink press that the boat was a dream come true. Luceno, a buyer of two Aston Martin, Ferrari or Lamborghini, has not yet said that this person is mine.
