  • Family A sister of Willy was already sentenced to three years in prison for a scam similar to that of Cope: she kept 400,000 euros and blamed a colleague

About thirty journalists from the Sports team of the Cadena Cope has initiated legal proceedings to denounce his colleagueGuillermo 'Willy' Valadés for the scam that the journalist carried out for about a year, when he claimed to have a brain tumor of which there has been no proof, obtaining from his colleagues, Some of them the biggest stars of sports radio in this country, almost 400,000 euros.

Those 30 journalists of the team captained by Paco González, Manolo Lama and Pepe Domingo Castaño, have signed on Wednesday a power of attorney for their attorneys to present in the next few hours legal actions in order to denounce the deception of which they have been subjected.

The powers are necessary because the set of workers of the Sports team of the chain would have been harmed by the deception, given that the money to pay for the unproven cancer of his partner comes from the annual budget of 'Tiempo de Juego' and 'El Partidazo', from which they all charge.

Willy and his fake cancer: the sports journalist Cope and intimate of Paco González who would have defrauded his colleagues "hundreds of thousands of euros"

Apart from the fact that the lawyers of the journalists scrutinize these days the labor status of Valadés in the team of the González, Lama and Castaño -where he was a collaborator, he charged in the year prior to the deception (2021) 103,000 euros and during the year in which he made his bosses believe that he was sick he was not discharged-, the idea is to file a criminal complaint, for misappropriation or directly for fraud, against Valadés.

However, it is necessary to assess how, since Valadés declared to the tax authorities as income from work all the money of the four payments he received (and not in weekly money as has been counted). The detail, which suggests some kind of planning in the deception, also raises doubts when looking for the applicable criminal type.

Thus, the journalists of Sports of Cope have already begun to sign, as ABC advanced, the powers of attorney for the prosecutors to present these days the criminal complaint about what sources of the team pose as "a scam. Emotional of course, but also of the others."
