Courts Puig's brother admits duplicate invoices to qualify for subsidies from Valencia and Catalonia
The Castellón businessman
Francis Puig
, brother of the former Valencian president
Ximo Puig
, may have tried to justify expenses to obtain public subsidies from the
Generalitat
with invoices from his partner's wedding, according to the
Civil Guard
in its latest report . The Court of Instruction number 4 of Valencia has just received the document, more than a year after having requested it, which is why the case against Puig's brother is reactivated for alleged fraud in the collection of public subsidies related to the promotion of the Valencian.
The report from the Civil Guard, to which EL MUNDO has had access, analyzes the possible irregularities in the granting of subsidies by the previous Consell de Puig to his businessman brother between the years 2015 and 2018. To do this, it goes into detail about a multitude of invoices, among which are invoices from
Canal Maestrat
issued to
Comunicacions dels Ports
, the firm of Francis Puig.
One of the files for "content service" includes a "wedding album" that, in the opinion of the researchers, "could be, due to the images it contains, the wedding of Enrique Adell Bover", partner of Francis Puig. .
The Civil Guard also states that although the videos provided correspond to the concept "month of September (corresponding to the year 2017)", it can be seen that "the production date is well before the concept of the invoice." "There are even some that were created in 2016," says the Civil Guard about the archives of the photographic report of the aforementioned wedding.
Furthermore, the report shows that Francis Puig allegedly received subsidies to promote Valencian for producing videos in Spanish, in addition to the fact that the businessman tried to obtain subsidies for the same service from both the Generalitat Valenciana and that of Catalonia.
