Businessman Miguel Angel Ramirez Argues that Seguridad Integral Canaria (SIC) would be “one of the leading companies in the country” in its sector if not for the procedure for alleged fraud against the Treasury and Social Security where it is being tried in the Las Palmas Court and where he maintains that he has committed no crime.
The employer also opined that the union denounced the alleged irregularities de Seguridad Integral Canaria, USO, “is not interested” in the fact that the company is the fifth in its sector in Spain. “That is the truth,” added Ramírez, who requested his right not to testify in order not to answer the questions of the prosecution conducted by the aforementioned union representation.
Their three hours of declaration Before the court, in the eighth session of the trial, Ramírez assured that in the Comprehensive Security allowances were paid for travel and mileage due to the type of service provided by its guards and because it was agreed upon in the works council and that, in addition, The extraordinary timefor, indeed, when in some cases this was not done, the workmen claimed them and entered them.
The businessman alleged that the Social Security itself, in a report, “did not decide” that the payments made by his company were subsistence allowances. will disguise overtimeas maintained by the Prosecutor’s Office and other accusations and former employees and the Social Security and Treasury inspectors testified during the oral hearing, that, according to Ramírez, if they did their job “properly ” they could prove that “We have done no sin.”
In addition, it is considered that if the Social Security fails to recognize that the overtime is paid as allowances “the reason falls”, which He couldn’t understand why SIC “didn’t owe money to anyone”.while other companies in the sector maintain “multi-million dollar” debts and are claimed through administrative channels.
The case was cited by a company where the Treasury had banned public contracts price difference for unpaid overtime, and stated that “companies with more administrative problems” than his “are not in criminal proceedings.”
Ramírez, in questions from his lawyer, also clarified that in Integral Canarian Security, when he was in charge, no more than 80 overtime hours a year were workedand later De Armas changed the system when he dropped the sectoral agreement.
He emphasized that he always follows “carefully“in all requests for information made by the authorities, providing the data they requested and dealing with payments, and that he is not responsible for one of the investigating judges using that information “for other purposes ” and “prostitute”, as she was made Salvador Alba on facts for which he is serving six years in prison.
The information requirement is provided by Hector de Armas to Alba’s threat of an entry and search order on the company within 24 hours, pointed out Ramírez, specifying that the related to the years 2008 and 2009 he himself did in court because in those years he was the administrator , but his “honor said he didn’t need it.”
In his statement, he also said that “You have the right not to manipulate the procedure“. “I put up with the fact that I don’t pay Social Security, the Treasury (…) that I don’t pay anyone,” he complained.
Also, he defended the rule of another defendant, Héctor de Armas, who succeeded him as sole administrator in the summer of 2011, because it was “a success”, to the point that it was able to make Seguridad Integral Canaria the fifth in the country.
It was Héctor de Armas, according to Ramírez, who “had the brilliant idea” of exploiting the labor reform of Mariano Rajoy’s Government to withdraw from the collective agreement of the sector in Spain and give the company its own labor agreement with its workers and also prepared a second agreement that was activated once the courts annulled the first one.
Miguel Ángel Ramírez emphasized that “never” is disqualified from court and he remembered that the sentence imposed on him years ago for the works carried out in his house, in a sentence that was later annulled, only prohibited him from managing a company in the construction sector, an activity in which he does not take part.
Ramírez explained that when he decided to appoint Héctor de Armas as sole administrator it was because he wanted to distance himself from the world of security and devote himself to his other company and because he also wants someone with a professional profile due to the growth that SIC is experiencing.
Since then, he made sure that he never made decisions, because they were in contact with De Armas, who even on medical leave continued to manage the company through a chat contributed to method.
To questions from his defense, he clarified that since De Armas is an administrator “he doesn’t have a signature no checking account“of SIC or the ability to make movements, which in the credit policies he signed in 2011, 2012 and 2013 is listed as guarantor, and there may be no emails signed by him in the account of that company, whose domain is not he used..
Regarding the money thrown from the Bank of Spain vaults, he pointed out that he did not take it but Héctor de Armas did, which is why he denounced him when he found out about it after he sold SIC to him in 2018 , an operation in which he denied that he was will forcebecause he sold it because he had a strategic plan to save it, said Ramírez, who indicated that the contract was drawn up by lawyer Sergio Armario and that he acknowledged that he had managed the company until then “without interference” on his part .
