Vox has requested the Court of Auditors to open an investigation for possible accounting responsibility in the Badajoz Provincial Council, after the conviction of David Sánchez, brother of the President of the Government, for a crime of administrative prevarication related to the position that was granted to him irregularly, according to the ruling, in the provincial institution of Badajoz.
In a complaint collected by Europa Press, the party led by Santiago Abascal asks that the Badajoz Provincial Council be required to provide "information and additional documentation proving the amounts actually paid" for the contracts that have been subject to prosecution, "including up to the current date, as well as the individuals who authorized, ordered, and supervised those payments."
The party maintains that there are "rational indications" that the amounts paid by the Badajoz Provincial Council to Sánchez's brother with public funds would have reached 280,845.63 euros between 2017 and 2024.
According to the document, "this is an unjustified debtor balance in the accounts of said entity, to the extent that the jobs would have been created and provided irregularly and the recipient would not have effectively and regularly performed the inherent functions. Therefore, it is susceptible to generating accounting responsibility for the recipient himself and for those who authorized, ordered, or did not prevent those payments."
Likewise, Vox emphasizes that it is "equally appropriate" for the Court of Auditors to request from the Badajoz Provincial Council data on the amounts paid to Luis María Carrero, who was an advisor in the Presidency of the Government and later held a position in the provincial institution.
The party indicates that the documentation presented does not include a report on Carrero's remuneration or on the tasks performed in that position, "unlike what is documented regarding David Sánchez."
With this request, Vox aims to "clarify whether these amounts correspond to an effective provision of services or whether, on the contrary, they could constitute an unjustified debtor balance (scope) susceptible to generating accounting responsibility."
The Provincial Court of Badajoz imposed a special disqualification penalty on Sánchez and Carrero for public employment or office for nine years for the crime of administrative prevarication.
