• Erial case. The judge warns Zaplana: "The signs of criminality against him are increasing"
  • The summary. The UCO certifies the looting that he attributes to Zaplana through the agendas of his entire political career

The investigation that is being carried out against former Valencian President Eduardo Zaplana in the so-called Erial case adds a new chapter. In this case, the one that directly involves one of his trusted men for years, Fernando Castelló . Agents of the Central Operational Unit (UCO) of the Civil Guard registered the residence in Castellón of the former Minister of Industry with Zaplana early in the morning, according to El País, and sources from the former PP politician have confirmed to this newspaper .

This domiciliary registry was not the only one and it was produced in the framework of the Erial operation, which investigates in Valencia the alleged irregularities in the award, in exchange for bribes, of the wind plan of the Valencian Community during the times of the Zaplana government, as well as from ITV. Zaplana himself is charged with the alleged crimes of laundering, embezzlement and prevarication, although he has denied the accusations from the beginning.

In the case of Castelló, your participation in the alleged rigging of the tender for the award of the wind farms is behind the registration at your home in search of new documentation for the case. In fact, and although he has not been arrested, Castelló chaired the commission that finally awarded the tender for the failed wind power plan.

Sources from the family environment of Fernando Castelló have confirmed that last Tuesday, at eight in the morning, UCO officers from the Civil Guard appeared at his home, where they remained until noon to review possible documentation related to the awards.

According to the same sources, the one who was also Secretary of State with José María Aznar, "is not at all worried" , although this very Wednesday, in the early afternoon, he held a meeting in Valencia with the team of lawyers who will deal with of his defense. In this sense, they assure that the former minister "has no conscience charge" for the investigated awards of the wind power plan. He did not have it then or now, they emphasize from his environment.
