• Investigation: The TV of the brother of Puig declared 35,000 spectators to collect the subsidy in a region that has 5,200 inhabitants
  • TSJ.The brother of Ximo Puig, cited as investigated for possible fraud in subsidies of the Generalitat to his companies

The Ministry of Transparency has estimated the complaint that last February 11 presented the Popular Party , through the Transparency Council, to understand that the companies of the brother of the president of the Generalitat, Ximo Puig, have broken the law for not giving Publicity to public subsidies received from the Valencian Government between 2016 and 2018 through Comunicació dels Ports and Mas Mut Produccions and or amount of 379,000 euros. In the resolution, which is not firm and can be appealed to the Contentious Chamber of the Superior Court, the Transparency Council requires Comunicació dels Ports, whose administrator is Francis Puig, to report on the decisions taken to comply with the resolution. .

Article 3 of Law 2/2015 on Transparency requires all companies to make public all public subsidies that exceed 10,000 euros, something that has not happened in this case. The rule sets penalties of between 3,000 and 400,000 euros and the possibility of having to return the money received depending on the seriousness of the cases. The PP will require the Ministry of Transparency, in the hands of Rosa Pérez Garijo , Esquerra Unida, report of any initiative that has taken regarding "this flagrant breach ", as explained in a press conference the secretary general of the Popular Party Eva Ortiz

In response to the complaint lodged by the PP, Comunicació dels Ports claimed before Transparency that it has no website or way to comply with that advertising rule , something that has surprised the PP by the fact that the firm managed by Francis Puig received public aid for the promotion of Valencian in the press, also through digital media. "How is it possible that he receives public money for the promotion of the Valencian in the media and does not have a website to advertise what they receive?" Ortiz said.

The PP hopes that next November 7, the President of the Generalitat, Ximo Puig, will appear in the Valencian Courts to explain this matter and, at least, can answer three direct questions: "Mr. President, can you say no there are duplicate payrolls? can you say that there are no false or duplicate invoices for subsidies to your brother? They have also requested that the cause be declared complex, but for now the request for resignations is saved. "For now what I demand are explanations" , has maintained the leader of the PP.

COMPLEX CAUSE

The Court of Instruction No. 4 of Valencia agrees the complexity statement

Judge Pedro Antonio Casas Cobo has agreed to declare complex investigation into the aid received by the companies of President Ximo Puig's brother, at the request of the Fiscal Ministry.

According to the judge, the practice of the pertinent proceedings for the investigation will not be able to be carried out within six months, "due to circumstances involved in the investigation", so "the cause must be declared complex because the investigators are pending , being able to derive the practice of new proceedings "
