The prosecutor asks the judge to impose a bail on Luis Medina of almost 900,000 euros

The prosecutor in the Mascarillas case, Luis Rodríguez Sol, has asked the judge to impose a bail of 891,227,067 euros on Luis Medina Abascal after having been able to seize only the yacht he bought with the nearly one million euros he obtained in commissions and 247 .26 euros that he had in a bank account.

The representative of the Public Ministry, in a letter to which elDiario.es has had access, asks the magistrate, Adolfo Carretero, to include in the order that the amount of the bail “may not fall below a third of more than the entire amount” of the eventual pecuniary responsibilities, which would amount to 1,216,989.33 euros. Taking into account that the seizure of the yacht and the account amount to a total of 325,762.26 euros, “it is estimated that the amount of the deposit should be set at a figure not less than 891,227.07 euros”, that is, what would be left to Medina for satisfying up to 1.2 million.

Luis Medina and Alberto Luceño, the two businessmen who pocketed six million euros in commissions for selling defective material to the Madrid City Council thanks to their contacts in the town hall, they were moving the money collected from Malaysia until their accounts were emptied in the following months. When the investigation of the Prosecutor’s Office began, there were barely a few euros left in their accounts. After the first embargoes, the judge asked the Prosecutor’s Office to rule on the bail to be imposed, to which Rodríguez Sol responded in the brief referred to in this information, which is dated April 13.

The popular accusation that Podemos exercises in the case of the masks has asked the judge to require Luis Medina to deposit a bail for the amount of nearly one million euros that he earned in commissions for the sale of medical supplies to the Madrid City Council and that, if he does not do so, all his assets, in Spain or abroad, be seized. In a letter sent to the court, Podemos proposes that if Medina does not satisfy the eventual bail, he deliver a list of his assets and that it be agreed that they be collated by the Court to proceed with the seizure of him.

For its part, the Madrid City Council has asked the judge to find out if Medina has other accounts, in addition to the 247.26 euros, to proceed with a preventive seizure. In his letter, which is cited by Europa Press, he also demands that the existence of movable or immovable property registered in the different public registries of ownership of the investigated be investigated.

Once the patrimonial investigation is carried out, it requests that the assets found be seized, in order to ensure the pecuniary responsibilities that may be incurred in the total amount of 1,140,927 euros, which includes the total value of the profits obtained by the same to the detriment of the Madrid City Council (912,742 euros) and the rest (228,185 euros) as costs.
