The former director of Control of Corporate Functions at Iberdrola, José Antonio del Olmo, claims it operated as one company, although the subsidiary billed Renewables.
The former director of Control of Corporate Functions of Iberdrola, José Antonio del Olmo, this Monday assured the judge examining the electricity company’s contracts with CENYT, the business group of José Manuel Villarejo, that the parent company managed the commissioner’s invoices, even if they were linked. on services contracted by its subsidiary Renewables.
Del Olmo appeared as an investigator before the head of the Central Court of Instruction No. 6, Manuel García Castellón, after he offered to testify because, as he has stated, since his indictment he has remembered the bills and gathered more information about Villarejo issued Iberdrola for allegedly wrongful orders that the parent company had made to the commissioner since 2004, for which he was said to have raised more than a million euros.
According to legal sources consulted by Europa Press, the former “controller” stated for an hour and a half, in response to questions from the judge, the prosecutor and his defense, to explain the billing system in detail.
The former director has indicated that Iberdrola functioned as a single company with the parent company also managing the invoices arising from the contracts of the group’s subsidiaries. In this regard, he noted that Security was one of the most centralized departments, which, as the judicial inquiry showed, would have been responsible for contracting CENYT.
