The Anticorruption Prosecutor's Office advances that if new elements do not appear, it is willing to request the filing of the case for money laundering against the former president of the Community of Madrid Ignacio González and his wife

Lourdes Cavero

. in the framework of the so-called 'Lezo case'.



In a brief presented recently in the summary of the case, the Public Ministry anticipates that both the former high-ranking official of the PP and his wife "certainly" have accredited so far through their defenses "elements that support an eventual dismissal."



In this line, Anticorrupción requests the file of the money laundering piece for

Edmundo Rodríguez Sobrino

, former head of Canal de Isabel II in Latin America. Regarding its final decision on González and Cavero, the Prosecutor's Office points out that it will exhaust the last steps requested by the Judicial Police and that if no new evidence emerges from the result of the same, it will request the dismissal for both.



In this way, the Anticorruption Prosecutor's Office sacrifices five years after the start of the so-called

Lezo operation

one of the initial pillars of the investigations, since it has not been able to prove one of the accusations that it initially maintained: that the former Madrid president laundered money from illicit origin through different operations in which he got to implicate his own father, now deceased, who was also exonerated.



González continues to be charged.

Anti-corruption accuses him of collecting commissions in exchange for the purchase of the company

Emissao

or of irregularly awarding services of the Canal de Isabel II golf course to his relatives.
