• September 2018.SGAE withdraws from private prosecution against Teddy Bautista

The board of directors of the General Society of Authors and Publishers ( SGAE ), chaired by Pilar Jurado, debates this Tuesday in an extraordinary session if the SGAE returns to appear as a private accusation against Teddy Bautista , president of said council until the beginning of the ' Operation Saga ', in 2011.

In this way, a decision taken in September of last year is reversed, when SGAE withdrew as a private accusation of the case investigated in that case, appearing as an injured party in the procedure. This led to Baptist being present at the elections to the board of directors , held in October, although he did not get elected. This summer, due to the withdrawal of one of the junteros, Fernando Illán, Teddy returned to be part of this body, although he resigned shortly after, in the midst of an aggravation of the intestinal struggles suffered by the authors society in recent years.

This newspaper has had access to an internal document in which the personification against the leader of Los Canarios is justified in a separate piece related to Arteria, the network of theaters of SGAE , for "the fraudulent acquisition by the Author Foundation of which Teddy was Director General of two theaters (the Lope de Vega and the Coliseum) worth 83 million euros, a figure much higher than their real market value according to the different appraisals and that could range between 66 and 72 million euros. "

Before the elections, Bautista explained to this newspaper his decision to return to the entity: "I have decided that after seven years of respectful silence regarding judicial decisions and the entire process, as we still have no date as to when it will be the oral view or mark us a calendar or an approximate temporal scope, because I am not willing, at my 75 years, to continue playing the role of civil corpse . "

"I have already respectfully fulfilled my citizen commitment to respect judicial independence," he said then. "I still believe in Justice. What happens is that I cannot cross my arms and wait for Justice to mark their times . That is, I see that there is an opportunity, a group of authors starts calling me asking if I do not I could do something. "
