Anti-Corruption Courts accuse Luis Medina and another businessman of using a cousin of Almeida to earn six million selling masks
The relative referred to by the Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office as a possible link for the businessmen Luis Medina and Alberto Luceño to obtain the contracts is
Carlos Martínez-Almeida Morales
, cousin of the mayor and founding partner of the Martínez Almeida Abogados law firm.
Graduated in Law from the Complutense University of Madrid, he took Doctorate courses at the Autonomous University of Madrid in Commercial Law, as well as postgraduate courses at Georgetown University in Washington DC, as stated on the website of his company where It stands out that he is a specialist in litigation and that he
has accumulated more than 20 years of professional experience.
He is also
an arbitrator of the Spanish Court of Arbitration and secretary of the Board of Directors and legal adviser of several companies
in the health, industrial, technological and financial fields as well as patron treasurer of the Anar Foundation, focused on the field of childhood.
A sector that he knows for having been president of the Platform of Children's Organizations.
«My family member provided the same
that was provided to all those who contacted the City Council to sell medical supplies.
The companies should follow the same path », the mayor said on Wednesday, adding that his cousin "did not know" Luis Medina and that the contact was made by "a mutual friend".
In their lawsuit against businessmen Luis Medina and Alberto Luceño, Anticorruption charged them with "obtaining an exaggerated and unjustified economic benefit" for the purchase of medical supplies -masks, gloves and tests- that they would later distribute to the Madrid City Council at the beginning of the pandemic when these products were scarce.
In his letter, made public this Wednesday, the prosecutor initially points to Luis Medina, son of the model Naty Abascal and the late Duke of Feria, who won a million euros, for
having taken advantage of "his status as a well-known character in public life”
to obtain a contact in the Treasury and Personnel Area of the Consistory, in charge of centralizing the purchase of this material in the health crisis.
