Luis Medina y Luceño, about their commissions: "The banks are going to say host, but what kind of pitch is this"

A new police report sent to the judge in the mask case underpins the evidence against Luis Medina and Alberto Luceño regarding the crime of fraud that they allegedly perpetrated with the sale of medical supplies to the Madrid City Council at the worst moment of the coronavirus pandemic. Aware of the exorbitant benefit they had obtained, Medina wrote a WhatsApp to Luceño on July 14, 2020 proposing to complete the contract on fees and commissions that they had to present to their banks separately: “Alberto eeeeeh, one thing eeeh, don’t you think it’s It is better that the IMFPA’s make them separate facing here and our banks from each one so that they do not see, that you know that the benefit of you and me is so great (…) they are going to say host, but what kind of ball is this , You know?”.

“These demonstrations are the starting point for an exchange of the aforementioned IMFPAs with various versions and modifications to execute the agreed plan. Despite the fact that, as has been stated, said extreme is not carried out by those investigated, full knowledge of the commitment of the commercial operation is clearly observed, showing their intention to hide and distract the global amount of what was received. regarding a single sales operation”, write those investigated in the police report to which elDiario.es has had access, prepared from the messages seized last September from Luceño in the records of his home and company.

The problem transcended Spanish banks. The police officers verify a requirement from MayBank, the bank to which the City Council sent the more than 11 million euros for the purchase of the material, which the entity makes to San Chin Choon, the alleged Malaysian businessman at the head of Leno, the company that obtained the material from China and sent it to Madrid. The bank “demands an explanation for the fact that the commissions of the Spanish agents represent 59.8% and 70.95% of the value of the products respectively,” the National Police report states.

Aware of the situation, Luceño and Medina began to assess using “the back door” to get the commissions that insistently demanded Leno and that did not arrive. “This method, according to what has been discussed, would be none other than paying an indeterminate amount of money to public or private entities, competent for the cancellation of the file that would maintain the immobilized capital so that it is released and can be transferred,” adds the crowded.

In this sense, Luceño asks his Chinese partner whom Anthony calls: “Luis asks me if we do it through the back door, how long will it take to receive the missing money. In summary, Luis wants to receive his money as soon as possible, so, with your knowledge, tell me what is the fastest formula and I need a date plan to be able to give it to him (…) Regarding Luis’s money, how much money would there be? What to leave by the back door?

This Anthony replies that he does not know “how much is needed to reach an agreement.” He adds that he had spoken with Leno (San Chin Choon) and that he is willing to help: “He doesn’t mind opening the file, but we know that it will create problems in Spain (…) So the hundreds of times that the price is exceeded they can create more problems in the end. Unless Spain is prepared to respond and exculpate suspicions of corruption. Anyway, Leno said that he will find out how much has to be given to close the case ”.

On the other hand, the investigators found in Luceño’s records digital invoices issued and collected before the company that issues them, Takamaka Invest SL, was incorporated. In fact, the date of issuance of the invoices is three months after the receipt of the commissions. These facts, concludes the Police, “distort the reality of the business undertaken.”

“All of this, in addition to the different elements exposed throughout this report, shows the spirit of concealment and deception of the interlocutors in relation to many aspects that make up the commercial operations investigated in the current legal case,” they conclude.

The Madrid judge who was investigating the commission agents Alberto Luceño and Luis Medina proposes to try them for the alleged fraud against the Madrid City Council in the sale of medical supplies in the first weeks of the pandemic in 2020. The head of the Madrid Investigating Court 47 has issued an order to pass to the abbreviated procedure, which is prior to the opening of the oral trial, in which the crimes of fraud and falsification of a commercial document are attributed to both of them. Luceño is also charged with the crime of falsifying a public document – ​​in relation to all the false official documents described in this information – and a tax crime.
