We can ask that Luceño also be charged with asset seizure and tax crime

The municipal group United We Can in the Madrid City Council has asked the judge Adolfo Carter the imposition of a bail on the businessman Alberto Luceño -investigated for the alleged scam with the purchase of sanitary material for the Madrid City Council- for “one third more” of the total of 5,567,725 euros in commissions that he allegedly pocketed in this operation. They also ask you to join the concealment of assets possible tax crime to those who are already charged and various measures against his company Takamaka, through which he would have laundered most of the profit obtained with the hit.

This request, which coincides this Monday with his statement as a defendant before the head of the Investigating Court number 47 -along with his partner Luis Medina, son of the Duke of Feria- is made after the judge verified that the businessman he only has 129,139 euros in cash in his bank accounts and had already gotten rid of three of the twelve high-end vehicles he bought with the money from the operation.

The Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office has requested a bail of 5,567,725 euros and the court has granted the businessman a period of five days to present the amount related to the preventive seizure. For its part, the City Council asks you to set the payment of 6,191,127 euros by Luceño preventively.

In the event that Luceño does not provide the bail requested by United We Can, this party urges the investigation of the assets of both the person under investigation and the company Takamaka Invest SL, as well as asking the Treasury for information on assets that the person under investigation and the aforementioned entity could dispose abroad for the purpose of carrying out the corresponding seizures.

According to this part, there could be goods hoist through takamakawhich is the company through which he acquired most of the vehicles and other assets after taking his statement before the Anticorruption Prosecutor Luis Rodríguez Sol on April 14, 2021, “all of this despite the warning from the Public Prosecutor’s Office during the course of the investigation that said assets could be subject to seizure,” states the letter to which it has had access THE NEWSPAPER OF SPAIN.

Regarding the tax crime, this part considers that the commissions obtained by the investigated party would have been taxed through the company Tamaka Invest for corporate income tax, taxing only 15% of the benefit, instead of 43% that would have corresponded to him in personal income tax as a natural person. This company was incorporated two months after receiving said commissions. For all these reasons, they finally request that the investigation be extended to this society in condition of being investigated for the operations of purchase and transmission of vehicles carried out with the profits obtained from the crime.

According to the documentation provided by Caixa Bank to the magistrate, the businessman only has 129,139 euros in cash. In a account in his name has 1,365 euros, to which are added 119,397 euros in the name of the Takamaka company (of which he is the sole administrator and with which he bought most of the cars), while another 8,377 euros appear in a third account in the name of Luceño with another person. The judge alreadye has blocked these accounts plus five credit cards.

With respect to the twelve vehicles allegedly acquired with the bite, Luceño has already maneuvered in relation to the Range Rover Sport license plate 5104-LHB, and the KTM X BOW that he bought on July 30, 2020 (according to the invoices in the summary), months after the deal was concluded. He sold them at the beginning of last April, a few days after the complaint was admitted for processing filed against him and his partner Medina by the Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office.

The investigation has also detailed the purchase of a Lamborghini Huracan Evo Spider el November 27, 2020 that Luceño sold in January of this year. Indicatively, and since this alienation of the vehicles took place when the investigation was already underway, Luceño could add the seizure of assets to the crimes of aggravated fraud, false documents and money laundering for which he is already being investigated.
