The Court of Accounts has archived the investigation initiated last June following a complaint by Citizens for the rescue of the airline Plus Ultra for 53 million euros by the fund of the State Society of Industrial Participations (SEPI), they have informed Europa Press sources of the whistleblower training.

Thus, it discards the thesis of the orange formation on an alleged loss of public funds, which establishes that the 34 million euros provided to the airline are a loan.

The stoppage of the payment of the remaining 19 million euros by order of a judge

could lead to the unfeasibility of the company, both the airline itself and the State Attorney have warned.

Citizens are planning to file an appeal against this decision, add the same sources.

The complaint was presented by the president of Cs,

Inés Arrimadas

, her deputy spokesperson in Congress

Edmundo Bal

and her MEP Luis Garicano on June 7.

Ciudadanos had demanded that the supervisory body investigate the responsibility of all the authorities for this operation to resolve whether there are accounting infractions, debug how much money has been diverted and ensure the return of the money to the public coffers.

The admission of the Citizens' complaint led to the opening of a Public Action piece and the appointment of an instructor from the Prosecution Section of this body, who finally found no evidence and filed the proceedings.

The matter is also in the hands of the ordinary courts.

Last week, the head of the Court of Instruction Number 15 of Madrid, Esperanza Collazos, ordered to suspend the delivery to * Plus Ultra * of the 34 million euros that are part of the rescue to the airline and that were to be disbursed on July 28 , for the company to prove that it really needs this loan to pay creditors.

According to the judge, "the disbursement of the amount of 34,000,000 euros, as a participatory loan scheduled for July 28, within a viability plan for the company Plus Ultra, must be justified, taking into account the existence of this "judicial procedure.

In addition to appealing this file, Ciudadanos could reserve itself to file an action against this aid in the Court of Accounts in the event that the company does not return the loans received after the judge's decision to paralyze them.
