The Supreme Court summons the deputy of the PP Alberto Casero to testify on June 20 for prevaricating in his stage as mayor

• The Supreme opens procedure to the PP deputy Alberto Casero to investigate contracts when he was mayor of Trujillo

The instructor of the Supreme Court

has summoned for next June 20, at 11:30, the deputy of the PP

as investigated to give a voluntary statement in relation to the case in which he investigates certain agreements and service contracts that would have made when he was mayor of Trujillo (Cáceres) in 2017 and 2018.

The Criminal Chamber agreed to open a case against the deputy after the Court of First Instance and Instruction of Trujillo submitted to the High Court a reasoned statement in which the facts attributed to the then mayor were described as a continuing crime of administrative prevarication.

In addition, the Prosecutor's Office found evidence of embezzlement of public funds in his actions.

According to the documentary and testimonial evidence provided by the Trujillo court, there are solid indications that the aforementioned acts of contracting were carried out by Casero without subjecting himself to the administrative procedure established for it, for which reason, in his opinion, he undertook to pay various amounts without communicate it to the City Council and without the necessary reports.

Casero, right-hand man of the former general secretary of the PP Teodoro García Egea, faces being charged with a continuing crime of administrative prevarication and another of embezzlement of public funds.

The deputy can agree to appear voluntarily before the Supreme Court on June 20 or force the body to request the Congress of Deputies the request to be able to take a statement.
