New impulse to the judicial cause of the former 'number 2' of the Andalusian PSOE

for the fraud of the formation.

After years of paralysis due to the filing that Judge

initially gave to the case, which was reopened three years later by the Seville Court, the new instructor is now trying to reactivate the investigations.

EL MUNDO has had access to the new order issued by the reinforcement judge of the Court of Instruction 6 of Seville,

, in which he agrees to investigate

of Rafael Velasco who were linked to the Córdoba academy that received grants for courses of the Junta de Andalucía, in the stage of the PSOE.

Thus, the judge has agreed that Rafael Velasco's wife -

-, his two sisters-in-law -

- and his brother -

- in the cause on training fraud, in which alleged crimes of administrative prevarication, document falsification and embezzlement are investigated.

Antonia Montilla was the sole administrator of Aulacen Cinco, SL, the academy that received

in grants from the Board for training courses. Part of this aid is being investigated in the courts of Córdoba, where the beneficiary company was domiciled. The Seville judge analyzes four grants awarded by the Board, between December 2006 and December 2009, with an amount of

.

Another new investigated is Rafaela Montilla, Antonia's

and Velasco's sister-in-law. She "could have cooperated in the commission of the criminal acts investigated, inasmuch as she would appear as an

subsidized training courses, despite having a consanguinity relationship up to the fourth degree or affinity in the second degree with Antonia Montilla and Rafael Velasco, administrator in fact of Aulacen Cinco SL, which would be

"by the General Law of Subsidies, says the judicial order.

The other sister-in-law of Velasco now investigated, Inmaculada Montilla, appears as

, despite her family ties with the administrators of the beneficiary company of the aid, something that goes against the Subsidies Law, explains the judge .

Velasco's brother is also listed

as

.

There is a fifth person investigated:

, who was head of the service in the General Directorate of Training. Solís, "without holding a position that enabled him" to do so, would have intervened in the administrative files of subsidies, indicates the judge. In addition, there is a certification from the General Directorate of Training for Employment in which it is stated that Aulacen Cinco is "approved" to receive aid for the courses. However, this Board document is

, since it is dated April 14, 2005 and the company was not incorporated until December 12 of that year, the order warns.

For the investigating judge, the relatives of Rafael Velasco and the former head of the service "could have had some type of material participation" in the criminal acts that are the object of the proceedings, which are the "unlawful non-compliance" of the discipline of concession, control and justification of the subsidies for vocational training, "thanks to the

of the beneficiaries with those responsible for the managing body of the subsidy", which was the Andalusian Employment Service (SAE) of the Ministry of Employment.

Four former senior officials

In addition to Velasco, in this case the former employment counselor

, already convicted in the ERE case, and the former general directors of Training for Employment

were already under investigation . The four former senior officials of the Board signed the resolutions granting aid for courses under suspicion to the academy linked to the former 'number 2' of the Andalusian PSOE.

This case - revealed by EL MUNDO - caused in October 2010 the resignation of Rafael Velasco from his position as deputy secretary general of the Andalusian PSOE and also as a socialist deputy in the Andalusian Parliament. When the controversy broke out and before resigning, he defended that his wife had received the aid, "just like the thousands of people who dedicate themselves" to teaching courses subsidized by the Board, and even wondered if this newspaper was trying "to get me to part with her. " In fact, he claimed that he did not know "where the news is."

Despite the fact that the case has been going on for more than a decade, Velasco has never had to testify in the Seville courts.

Judge Núñez filed the case in 2017 without even citing it, "

and without motivating it "sufficiently", as the Seville Court warned years later, which ordered it to be reopened.

The invoice of light

Among the aids that judge Vilaplana is investigating is file 98/2007 / J / 373, by virtue of which the Board granted 41,296 euros to Aulacen Cinco. Part of this subsidy was used to

former 'number 2' of the PSOE-A, as this newspaper published. In the final liquidation of the course presented to the Board, Aulacen Cinco charged to "energy and maintenance" expenses an item of 888.51 euros. In an invoice, Antonia Montilla appears as the owner and the supply point coincides with the family home that the Velasco Montilla couple has in Quintana, a village belonging to the Cordovan town of

.

Another subsidy under investigation is 98/2008 / J / 0279, in which there are

that led the Board to consider only a very small part (3.3%) of the aid as justified. An official letter from the Central Operative Unit (UCO) of the Civil Guard refers to this file and explains that there is a resolution to initiate reinstatement by the General Directorate of Training detailing the "serious irregularities detected that gave rise to that only the amount of 2,783.54 euros of a grant of 82,593 euros is considered correctly justified ".

In the last order, the judge extends and extends the term of the investigation of the case for another six additional months until next June 28, 2022 and asks the Central Operational Unit (UCO) of the Civil Guard to report on the proceedings that I had commissioned him last summer.

Velasco objected to extending the term to investigate the case, but the judge rejected his request because "it violates legal logic", since he stated that, when the case was archived, the judge had to extend the term of the inquiries.
