The Anticorruption Prosecutor's Office has requested the imputation of the former president of the Community of Madrid Esperanza Aguirre in the case where the drastic reduction of beds at the Puerta de Hierro Hospital (Majadahonda) is investigated without any administrative procedure and through which damage was generated of 10 million euros to the public treasury.

As ABC has advanced, and EL MUNDO has been able to confirm from tax sources, Aguirre's request for summons as investigated is on the table of the head of the Court of Instruction Number 53 of Madrid, Mónica Aguirre, who has not yet resolved the request of the Public Ministry.

Anti-corruption asks the former president of Madrid to testify for the alleged commission of the crimes of prevarication and embezzlement of public funds.

The beginning of this judicial procedure is a complaint filed in 2020 by Anticorruption in the courts of Plaza de Castilla (Madrid) after concluding some investigation proceedings opened by the Public Prosecutor's Office.

The Prosecutor's Office filed a complaint against the director of Planning and Sanitary Equipment of the Community of Madrid between 2008 and 2011, Elena de Mingo, for alleged irregularities in the construction and operation of the Puerta de Hierro hospital in Majadahonda, reports Efe.

At that time, Juan José Güemes was Minister of Health and Esperanza Aguirre regional president, whom the Special Prosecutor Against Corruption and Organized Crime also request to investigate now.

According to the Anticorruption complaint, there are indications that "dispensing with the slightest administrative procedure for modifying contracts provided for in current legislation and in the list of administrative clauses, the works concession contract to build said hospital was de facto modified".

Due to this management "the administration has paid higher costs for services never provided", resulting in an impairment to the public funds of the Community of more than 10 million.

The public work was awarded by the Regional Minister of Health and Consumption of the Community of Madrid by Order of March 18, 2005 to the group of companies formed by Dragados SA, Bovis Lend Lease SA and SUFI, which formed the company Hospital Majadahonda SA

The contract was modified in 2008 and the 135 rooms of the aforementioned hospital went from being doubles to singles.

To justify this change, a resolution of May 5, 2008 issued at the request of the president of the Community of Madrid was invoked, which did not exist, says the Prosecutor's Office, which underlines "the radical illegality of the reduction of the 135 hospital beds carried out avoiding any administrative procedure ".
