• Who's who in the espionage plot

Monday, May 9, has been marked in red for weeks at the

Madrid City Council

.

It is a key date for the two issues that have shaken the council in recent months.

Today the commission for espionage to the president of the Community of Madrid and the investigation into the case of the masks will be mixed with

Elena Collado

, the municipal person in charge of that purchase of fraudulent material, summoned in principle to testify.

However, the investigating judge number 47 of Madrid, Adolfo Carretero, decided last week to suspend this appointment, in addition to ruling out his imputation.

At best, he will pass through his office as a witness, something yet to be defined in the investigation into the request for masks that left

Luceño

and his partner

Deél Medina

with millionaire commissions .

Today, the university professor (María Díaz de la Cebosa) will be questioned as a witness, who provided the duo of intermediaries with the contact of the mayor's cousin to offer the sale of medical supplies at the beginning of the pandemic.

What continues on this busy Monday is the investigation commission, which will close today with the appearance of

José Luis Martínez-Almeida

, the mayor of the capital.

No surprises or different versions are expected from the one that was maintained from the first moment, when the scandal broke out after publishing EL MUNDO the espionage attempt on Isabel Díaz Ayuso from the municipal housing company.

According to the mayor, as soon as the regional leader gave him the complaint in December, she initiated an internal investigation in the council.

From that convulsive February morning, when Almeida stepped on the City Hall patio to give serious explanations, the key movement in the case and in the demolition of the previous leadership of the Popular Party emerged.

The mayor's office forced the departure of

Ángel Carromero

, the general coordinator in Cibeles, owner of the last key and the last secret of the body that manages the capital.

Intimate of

Pablo Casado

, his dismissal was a signal to Genoa, as the ultimate responsible for those dark anti-Ayuso movements.

The former president of the PP and his right-hand man, Teodoro García Egea, became at that time the sworn enemies of Almeida, who had been his national spokesperson until that moment.

Marking Carromero was accusing his bosses of that sloppy threat of espionage to Ayuso.

Casado and Egea, also cited for the commission, skipped their date without appearing, but Carromero, summoned for today, has not yet confirmed whether he will appear or not.

Almeida's cabinet holds its breath at the possibility that the former gray brain of the consistory ends up sitting in front of the microphone.

If he does, no one knows what version of events he may end up stating.

"We don't think it will go," they said yesterday from the municipal PP, with Almeida hosting the Mutua Open final at the Caja Mágica.

He changed the Wanda derby for tennis, where he presented the trophy to the winner of the tournament.

Carromero has played with his silence, stretching the intrigue until today, without confirming his absence or his presence in the spotlight.
