Seven days after Francisco Javier Guerrero was sentenced to the Audience of Seville to seven years in jail, the former General Director of Labor of the Junta de Andalucía again heads the bench of the accused. This time for the help he gave, in the form of individual policies, to friends and neighbors of his hometown, El Pedroso, whom he helped after being asked for it or simply on his own initiative. Among them, the former mayor of the town, Rafael Rosendo (PSOE), already deceased, who entered into a policy that allowed him to unduly charge 110,000 euros.

The judge of reinforcement of the Court of Instruction 6 of Seville, José Ignacio Vilaplana, has issued an order to open an oral trial against Guerrero and against the beneficiaries and intermediaries of the payments he gave them under the budget heading 31L, better known as the "reptile fund", as it was baptized by the former Labor Director himself in a police statement.

All of them are charged with crimes of prevarication, influence peddling and embezzlement of public flows for irregular aid that is close to one million euros and for which, in addition, it imposes bonds that are around 5.6 million euros.

In addition, the magistrate agrees to continue with the procedure against the two insurance entities that managed the aid, Vitalia and European Holding Tindex, in the form of "temporary income insurance policies and / or deferred capital agreed, without just cause," according to the judge , at the initiative of Guerrero and for the benefit of "natural persons in their environment", in this case four people, friends and neighbors, "either on their own initiative or by asking the interested person".

He does so by virtue of a car dated November 5, two weeks before the ruling on the main piece of the ERE was known, in which he sent Guerrero and five other people to trial, two related to the insurers Vitalia and Vitalia Vida and two of the beneficiaries and the daughter of one of them,

All of them impose bonds ranging between 150,000 euros and 1.1 million euros, together with the additional bond to Vitalia and European Holding Tindex, as subsidiary civilians, for an amount of 1,237,230.89 euros.

Jail sentance

For this piece, which is known as that of the "individual policies," the Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office claims a seven-year prison sentence for Guerrero, in addition to 17 years and six months of absolute disqualification for a continued crime of prevailing in mediation with another of embezzlement , while for the representatives of Vitalia and Vitalia Vida, Antonio JAM and Jesús MBR, has asked for six years and ten months, in addition to absolute disqualification for a period of 16 years, and six years in prison and 15 for disqualification, respectively.

For those benefiting from the aid, the Public Prosecutor claims sentences of four years and five months in jail, plus disqualification for seven and a half years for prevarication and embezzlement in the case of Alejandro MT, while for Cristina RC, daughter of one of the benefited, asks four years and five months in jail and seven years and six months of disqualification.

Meanwhile, the Junta de Andalucía as a private prosecutor claims Guerrero for five years in jail and 9 years of special disqualification for employment or public office for a continuing crime of prevarication; 5 years in prison and 15 years of absolute disqualification for a continuing crime of embezzlement; and, for a crime of influence peddling, 6 months in jail, 3 years of special disqualification for employment or public office and the payment of a fine of 1,388,685.94 euros. In total, he claims for the former Labor Director ten and a half years in prison and 27 years of disqualification.

He also asks Guerrero and the rest of the defendants to jointly and severally jointly and severally pay the Board a total of 877,227.89 euros.

On the other hand, the accusation of the PP-A asks for the former high office seven years in jail and 17 years and 6 months of absolute disqualification for a continued crime of prevarication in competition with a continued crime of embezzlement.

In all cases and for all the accused, the investigating judge, and previously the Prosecutor's Office, considers that the attenuating circumstance of undue delays concurs, an unjustified delay in the investigation of the cause that can result in penalties for the benefit of prosecuted
