Prosecutors Seek Imprisonment for Isabel Díaz Ayuso's Partner in Tax Fraud Case

The Prosecutor's Office is pressing for a significant prison sentence of three years, nine months, and one day for Alberto González Amador, the partner of Isabel Díaz Ayuso, who is facing trial for a double charge of tax fraud. This report comes from El País, citing sources familiar with the legal proceedings. According to these sources, the Public Ministry is advocating for a double penalty due to two counts of tax fraud that amount to a collective sum of €350,910. The charges stem from alleged tax evasion activities related to the fiscal years 2020 and 2021. For the fiscal year 2020, the Prosecutor's Office is calling for a sentence of one year and nine months, linked to a fraudulent sum of €155,000 in corporate tax. Meanwhile, for the fiscal year 2021, the request is for two years and one day, tied to a higher fraud amount of €195,951, as reported by tax authorities. This situation escalated at the end of May, when Inmaculada Iglesias, the head of Instruction Court number 19 of Madrid, formalized the prosecution against González Amador and four other businessmen under pretrial proceedings. The allegations brought against Ayuso's partner include not only tax fraud but also document forgery. Interestingly, the Prosecutor's Office has noted a potential mitigating factor in González Amador's situation: the fact that he has already compensated the reportedly defrauded amount. This may have implications for the legal strategy moving forward. Furthermore, the defense representing Ayuso's boyfriend may contemplate negotiating a reduced sentence. This would involve an agreement with the Prosecutor's Office whereby González Amador could accept guilt, provided such negotiations take place before the oral trial commences. As this high-profile case unfolds, it continues to garner attention not only due to the legal ramifications but also because of the political implications surrounding Isabel Díaz Ayuso, a prominent figure in Spanish politics. The outcome of the trial could have significant repercussions for both González Amador and Ayuso amidst an already contentious political landscape. Related Sources: • Source 1 • Source 2
