The commission agent Alberto Luceño, Luis Medina's partner in the mask pitch and also the biggest beneficiary of the contract with Madrid, cannot pay the bail.

Luceño had 48 hours to deposit four million euros in the account of the court of instruction number 47 of Madrid, directed by the magistrate Adolfo Carretero, who is investigating the case.

Carretero had imposed that bail on Luceño to compensate for the possible civil liability that could derive from this investigation.

As has been uncovered during the investigations of the Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office, Luceño was the biggest beneficiary of the sale of sanitary material in full confinement to the Madrid City Council, since he took a commission of more than 5 million euros for three contracts valued at a total of 11 million.

His partner Luis Medina took a million.

According to the brief presented by Luceño's lawyer this Wednesday, "the impossibility of Mr. Luceño to meet the bail imposed, without prejudice to the assets and balances in current accounts already seized, although, as soon as assets are available The request of the Illustrious Court will be attended to.

It must be remembered that the money in Luceño's checking accounts and other assets are already seized, although their value does not even come close to the more than 5 million he earned with the operation.

However, in the previous brief presented by his defense, he justified that a large part of the money had been invested in current expenses, a luxury home in the municipality of Pozuelo de Alarcón and in high-end cars, including a Ferrari valued at €355,000. .

Thanks to this justification, the judge decided not to charge Luceño with a crime of concealment of assets, as he has done with Luis Medina, who emptied his checking accounts after being questioned by the prosecutor.

On the other hand, the municipal official Elena Collado, who signed the contracts with the Malaysian supplier San Chin Choon, whom the commissioners introduced to the City Council, will not testify next Monday.

This May 9, her interrogation was scheduled, but the Mixed Group of the Madrid City Council has asked that she be summoned as an investigator instead of as a witness, and until this request is resolved, the statement is suspended.
