  • Justice They accuse Núria Marín for an alleged scheme of diversion of subsidies

The president of the PSC and mayor of

L'Hospitalet de Llobregat

,

Núria Marín

, has appeared this morning as a defendant in the Court of Instruction 2 of the city, which is investigating the also president of the

Barcelona Provincial Council

in the framework of a case of alleged fraudulent grants.

The judge has opened a case for misappropriation, document falsification and prevarication, among other crimes, to determine if the

Sports Council of L'Hospitalet

, a private entity that receives public funding, allocated some of the aid that it manages and justified for private purposes. grants awarded through false documentation.

City of Justice

, in which he has answered all the questions that have been asked. .

The powerful socialist leader is being investigated for prevarication, misappropriation of public funds and omission of the duty to prosecute the crime.

The magistrate considers that the mayor of the second most populated Catalan city would have favored "incidentally unfair" the granting of subsidies with public funds from the

City Council

to the entity that promotes school sports.

the L'Hospitalet Sports Council

, who also held the position of lieutenant of Mayor of the Consistory, "will directly transfer the facts committed by those investigated."

The Socialist councilor who denounced the alleged irregularities,

Jaume Graells

, explained to the judge on Wednesday that the

PSC

leader

maintained a passive attitude after her revelations in February 2020. The councilor resigned as deputy mayor last June, but has not left its act or the municipal group in the Consistory.

Graells resigned from his post in the local government after the arrest for a few hours of the socialist councilors

Cristian Alcázar as
