The so-called

Mediator

case has its own route of corruption.

A journey that goes from the center of political power to the high class lumpen with cocaine, prostitutes, and viagra through.

A path that, moreover, was cyclical: "

It was partying all night, and to Congress the next day with sunglasses

," said Antonio Navarro, alias the Mediator, in an interview with EL MUNDO.

The outdated route, and alleged corruption,

took place in a reduced and luxurious environment

: San Jerónimo race (Congress), Puerta de Alcalá (Ramses), El Viso (Sombras club) and return to Sol (Victoria 4 hotel).

Barely eight kilometers with four stations, half an hour by taxi, less than two hours on foot.

And they completed it in the middle of the pandemic.

1. THE CONGRESS

As can be seen from the summary, the crucial stop for the businessmen who sought favors from the plot was in the Congress of Deputies.

In the Lower House, Juan Bernardo Fuentes Curbelo (rebound deputy since February 2020) had his own office and

an appearance of respectability when he was a speaker in areas such as "measures to prevent and fight tax fraud"

or "the law of taxes on certain digital services”.

They were photographed inside the Congress with the poster of the socialist parliamentary group as a background.

The pageantry and carpet of the seat of popular sovereignty served to impress the businessmen, who had to

pay "as an economic toll" an amount of 5,500 euros to the Vega Tetir Sports Association

, chaired by Fuentes Curbelo himself.

A sports club on the islands that on paper has the function of training young people in the world of football.

Some "children" for whom, according to Navarro Tacoronte's version, a "subtle" and "loving" donation was requested.

The Mediator revealed the visit of at least seven businessmen, at 10,000 euros each.

2. HEADQUARTERS OF THE CIVIL GUARD

Facing the plot of the Mediator case, the General Directorate of the Civil Guard fulfills a similar function to Congress: to provide an air of possibility and seriousness to the operations that the alleged corruption plot.

His office was there.

Francisco Javier Espinosa Navas

, the brigadier general now retired, and the only member of the plot currently in provisional prison, who until the outbreak of this case had an apparently faultless service record.

«Antonio, the address of

my office is Calle Guzmán el Bueno 110

.

Julio will be waiting for you at the door to let you in.

So nothing, I'll wait for you there whenever you want.

A hug ”, picks up one of the messages in the summary.

Businessmen who wanted to benefit from preferential treatment

came to be photographed with the Virgen del Pilar

(patron saint of the Benemérita) in the premises of the Armed Institute.

A place for which it is necessary to identify yourself before accessing.

This is the location furthest from the main route, in the Guzmán el Bueno area, four kilometers from Congress, the other center of power frequented by the plot.

The summary portrays how Antonio Navarro;

former deputy Fuentes Curbelo, his nephew Taishet Fuentes and General Espinosa sprinkled their wanderings with

extra-parliamentary and presumably illegal favors

in exchange for money.

3. RAMSES.

The

modus operandi

of this "criminal group", according to the judicial order, alludes to

parties and feasts once the meetings in institutional buildings have passed

.

For this, one of the places chosen by the leaders was the

Ramses restaurant and cocktail bar

(Plaza de la Independencia 4), in front of the Puerta de Alcalá and the Retiro park.

It is one of the most luxurious establishments in the capital with a diverse audience that ranges from people with money from a lifetime, to tourists and even older men accompanied by attractive young women.

Oysters, beluga caviar, tartare and bottles of wine of more than 1,000 euros

They make up a menu to be enjoyed at evenings that are enlivened with cocktails, soft lighting, shows and celebrations with sparklers.

There they tasted their delicacies at the now investigated "table for 15. All from the PSOE, neither from Vox nor from Podemos nor dragged Catalans."

This dinner was held on October 21, 2020. And, at least, there was another appointment, as this newspaper reported yesterday, with five Socialist deputies, who left without paying, assuming that Fuentes Curbelo would do it, who had attracted them.

When he arrived, according to his version,

he was with 2-3 businessmen

.

They dined at a high table in ele and the deputies left in a hurry to violate the curfew.

In the messages exchanged between the Mediator and the then deputy, it is explained, about the dinner for 15, that the attendees would take a menu of 60 euros each.

Everything under the State of Alarm and with a time restriction at 11:00 p.m.: «The reserved room is fucking crazy.

Complete tranquility.

There are some screens on.

No one has access to us and until the time we want

, okay?

I explain?

No one is going to be able to access us, no photographs, no weird rolls, okay?

Don't worry".

4. SHADOWS CLUB

Mansion of El Viso that operated as the Club Sombras.ALBERTO DI LOLLI

Parties

with cocaine, viagra and prostitutes

were common payments between businessmen and the political fabric.

One of the places chosen was the

Sombras club

, an exclusive palace in El Viso that has been in operation since the 1990s and that currently appears, on paper, as permanently closed.

There "people with a lot of money come" and "a little walk begins in which several girls come out", about whom a regular ex-customer points out that they are "very educated and very pretty".

The place, paradoxically,

was the object of an investigation by the Civil Guard when it was discovered that an agent practiced prostitution there

.

5. VICTORIA HOTEL

Hotel Victoria 4: Parties with prostitutes and drugs were held there. ALBERTO DI LOLLI

Another of the places where there were orgies and debauchery of politicians and businessmen with high-class prostitutes, with a cache of more than 1,000 euros.

The Victoria 4 is a three-star hotel

located on the homonymous street in front of the legendary La Fontana de Oro party bar, near the Congress.

An establishment in which there are payments for different overnight stays that range between 612.22 euros and 191.19 euros in April 2021. Dates on which

photographs of the socialist deputy together with Navarro were taken in the company of a prostitute

.

«I have been paying Don Bernardo whores every time I come to Madrid.

Every day.

1,000 euros

», Navarro himself tells in one of his conversations.

A route that,

despite audios and images, the former socialist deputy denies

: "It is flatly false that a tour with businessmen was organized that began in Congress, continued with feasts and ended in nightclubs."

He is being investigated for bribery, falsehood, money laundering, influence peddling and belonging to an organized group.
