The Iberdrola group initiates an offensive against the president of ACS, Florentino Pérez , and accuses him of opacity with investors. The power company has sent a letter to the National Securities Market Commission (CNMV) to which EL MUNDO has had access in which it claims that ACS is not being transparent about the scandal and gives as an example that it has not explained Manuel's resignation Slim as an advisor to the construction company. Delgado resigned last week after publishing some recordings in Moncloa.Com and El Confidencial in which he was heard with the ex-commissioner José Manuel Villarejo in 2009. It was a time when Villarejo offered Iberdrola to try to capture a mole in ACS, because Florentino Pérez was trying to take control of the electricity company.

He also asks Pérez to clarify what he knows of an alleged conversation of members of the UDEF with Villarejo that "Mr. Florentino Pérez maintained equity in companies in tax havens", but that the investigation process "stood still".

Finally, the CNMV claims that the construction company explain the reasons "to initiate proceedings against a digital newspaper that had information on the Villarejo and Iberdrola case," in reference to an alleged complaint by Pérez to Moncloa.com.

Iberdrola tries to show that he did not order a spying on Pérez and that, as he published this newspaper on the 21st, Galán has decided that the best defense is an attack.

The power company justifies its letter by the communication that the CNMV made last Monday, in which it asked the listed companies to inform the market of cases of corruption in which they could be involved. "The cases of alleged irregular practices in some listed companies that have been known in recent months, some of which have resulted in criminal jurisdiction proceedings, are of concern to the CNMV as the supervisory entity of the Spanish stock market" , said the supervisor in coincidence with the latest scandals of the Villarejo case that have been splashing to various Ibex companies.
