The judge of the National Court

Manuel García Castellón

has agreed to open an oral trial to the former president of the Community of Madrid Ignacio González and four other people for the alleged irregularities committed on the occasion of the award of two public contracts of Canal de Isabel II related to the Canal golf course.

In his order, the magistrate considers that there are indications to put Ignacio González on the bench for crimes of bribery, influence peddling in competition with bribery, administrative prevarication and two crimes of fraud against public administrations, within the framework of piece 2 of the so-called 'Lezo case'.

In addition to Ignacio González, the head of the Central Court of Instruction 6 opens a lawsuit against the former managing director of Canal de Isabel II between 2003 and 2009,

Ildefonso de Miguel

, as well as the partners of the TCT company

José Antonio Clemente Marín

,

Pablo Manuel González González

and

Juan José Caballero Escudier.

The latter two are the brother and brother-in-law, respectively, of the former president of the Community of Madrid.

The order recounts how in 2006 González and Ildefonso de Miguel, taking precedence over the highest level public positions they held in the public entity Canal de Isabel II, "directed their actions to ensure the hiring of the TCT society in two public tenders promoted by said body ".

His brother and his brother-in-law

TCT, which, according to the brief, lacked any means to carry out the contracted works, was owned by Clemente Marín, Pablo Manuel González and Caballero Escudier, although the latter two did so covertly to hide their family ties with Ignacio González.

"That hiring of all unnecessary and irregular points, which meant for TCT a total benefit of 504,780 euros -381,029 in the first case and 123,751 in the second- was requested and imposed by common agreement by all the defendants to the successful bidders as a condition to obtain the adjudications ", concludes the magistrate.

The Prosecutor's Office asked González for six years in prison, as well as for his brother and brother-in-law, for the alleged rigging in the construction of the golf course.

Ignacio González, "in order to benefit family members," promoted the processing of a modified project that had previously been awarded to Dragados for landscaping on the roof of the Third Canal Deposit.

says the prosecutor.

The modification consisted of replacing the landscaping with a golf course.

The former Madrid president also faces four years in prison for the alleged irregular award to OHL of the public works for the Navalcarnero train (Madrid) in 2007.
