The former president of the Valencian Community, Eduardo Zaplana, maintains that the case that is being followed against him is a "montage", he denies the collection of bribes and the keeping of accounts abroad and assures that Justice will prove his innocence.

Zaplana has issued a statement after knowing the documentation that was still under secrecy in the investigation of the so-called 'Erial case' and "reiterates" that "it never had any participation, neither in the award of the ITV nor in the approval of the Valencian Wind Power Plan" , operations in which the Civil Guard and the Prosecutor's Office attribute the collection of bribes.

"After the removal of this new partial secret from the summary agreed upon after more than five years of investigations, nothing appears to prove my intervention in the administrative procedures followed for these awards," he argues.

"I never received a bribe, gift or any other type of illegal commission, and for that reason, no evidence or any evidence to the contrary has appeared from the documentation examined after the secrecy was lifted," he added.

It also stresses that, unlike what the investigators claim, it does not have and has not had "an account in Switzerland or in any other tax haven". "What's more, I have never had a checking account abroad and that explains why no evidentiary element has appeared in the numerous letters rogatory issued by the court that would allow the contrary to be maintained," he emphasizes.

"Nothing that has been known today," he continues, "after the removal of the summary's secrecy became effective, allows us to maintain something different from what has been repeatedly stated." "The entire case is based on an assembly with which the procedure began and on spurious testimony," referring to that of the Uruguayan businessman Fernando Belhot, to whom the judge has withdrawn the status of accused after admitting that he laundered funds from Zaplana no declared without providing any documentary evidence that certifies their claims.
