- Corruption. Case Faffe: the manual of (almost) all the corruptions of the Andalusian PSOE
Three stores in Seville, one in Córdoba and another in the Cadiz town of Chiclana de la Frontera, all with prostitution services for their clients. Fernando Villén, who was director of the Fundación Fundación Andaluza Fondo de Formación y Empleo (Faffe) , walked his black card (and allegedly made frequent use of it) through five hostesses in three different Andalusian provinces, where he spent money. 32,566 euros charged to the public budgets of the Andalusian Government between 2004 and 2010.
Later, with the presumed complicity of which she was the economic and financial director of the institution, Ana Valls, simulated the reimbursement in cash of the amounts paid with the cards (three of the six available to her), even using false invoices to mask the real use that had been given to the funds of the foundation.
The judge who investigates the Faffe case has described in detail this type of brothel route that Fernando Villén frequented, although he does not specify whether he did it alone or accompanied by other people. The magistrate José Ignacio Vilaplana, who acts as a reinforcement judge in the Court of Instruction number 6 of Seville, has issued an order, which was announced yesterday to the parties, for which the investigation for its prosecution through the Law continues. of the Jury, so that it will be a popular court that decides if Fernando Villén and Ana Valls are responsible for the crimes of embezzlement and documentary falsification that are imputed to him.
Both investigated have been summoned to appear before the judge on September 30, as established in article 25 of the Organic Law of the Jury Court.
Four other Faffe workers who have also been investigated are excluded from the process, exonerated. They are two administrative managers of the Faffe funds, the deputy in the financial and economic management of the foundation and the brother of the former director of the Faffe, who was also a worker at the foundation. The judge considers that there are no "solid" indications about their participation in the facts under investigation, since in no case did they have powers to decide and they always acted according to instructions or guidelines from the two investigated.
As the investigating judge expressly maintains, there are sufficient indications that Fernando Villén continuously used the foundation's money to pay for services in various brothels in Seville and other Andalusian provinces. To do this, he used three of the six bank cards he had as director of the Faffe, a foundation dependent on the Board whose objective was the training and reintegration of unemployed people into the job market.
The judge emphasizes that, to hide the irregular use of the cards, Villén, "in collusion" with the Faffe's financial and economic director between 2004 and 2011, "devised a system that simulated the reimbursements of the aforementioned charges made by the investigated ", so that" in the Faffe's Daily Books, there are entries for the return of the aforementioned amounts that do not correspond to reality ". That is, it was allegedly pretended that the amounts paid with the cards were systematically returned.
“Such financial and accounting control mechanics were completely irregular, since, without prejudice to the fact that this was not a correct procedure to carry out the corresponding return, the truth is that, in any case, each income by return of what was spent It must have been improperly accompanied by the corresponding expense receipt or invoice, to which the program, subsidy and course to which it was attached were added to the back, ”the judge states in his brief. In addition, "to appear the returns , the defendants simulated returns of advances, per diems, expenses, trips and other non-existent ".
In total, the judge finds at least 18 operations at different locations, which were recorded in the account books through fictitious returns. But there are other operations that were not even subsequently made up.
After one of these operations, carried out at an alternate location in Seville on March 22 and 23, 2010 for the amount of 14,737 euros, Fernando Villén tried to cancel the bank card used, pretending that it had been lost or stolen.
The Faffe was a foundation (already dissolved) created to organize training courses for the unemployed and carry out professional and labor retraining actions that would reduce the extremely high unemployment rate that Andalusia has historically registered, standing years ago above the million unemployed and with a differential of more than 10 points over the average unemployment rate in Spain.
But, as happened with the training courses or the ERE money , the huge funds mobilized to remedy unemployment and help companies in crisis ended up in part deviating from their objectives to feed the client networks built during three decades of socialist governments In Andalucia. The Faffe case is also the subject of an investigation by the Andalusian Parliament, which is currently paralyzed.
