The Board of Prosecutors supports anti-corruption efforts to continue investigating Ayuso’s brother’s contract.

The anti-corruption prosecution will continue to investigate the deal for which Isabel Diaz Ayuso’s brother charged a fee. The courtroom prosecutors decided to support the criteria of Alejandro Luzon, who refuses to hand over the entire investigation to the European Prosecutor’s Office. This means that the anti-corruption agency can continue the investigation in Madrid, but also that the European Prosecutor’s Office can investigate the possible embezzlement.

The request of the European Prosecutor’s Office came to anti-corruption a few days ago. The body, set up last year by an EU-independent body, called on the department, headed by Alejandro Luzon, to investigate possible embezzlement of funds related to European funds. Anti-corruption refused and the public ministry decided to refer the matter to the Prosecutorial Council for a decision.

It remains to be seen what the next step will be for the body headed by the prosecutor in Spain, Concepcion Sabadell, and whether it will submit this request to the CJEU, as it proposed to the State Attorney General this morning. After the hearing, which lasted more than two hours, the decision of the Chamber’s Prosecutor’s Office was taken unanimously.

The European prosecutor filed the case after learning that there had been a possible misappropriation of European funds within his powers. The department, headed by Alejandro Luzon, maintains that this crime was never on the table and therefore there was no reason to avoid the case.
