The daughters of the businessman José Suárez Estévez, the Drones, have declared this Wednesday before the judge of the mediator case that they disbursed 46,000 euros to the mediator of the investigated plot to boost their business in the Canary Islands.

The two sisters, Marta and Arantxa, have appeared as defendants before Judge María de los Ángeles Lorenzo-Cáceres, although they have only answered questions from their defense. According to sources familiar with the statement, they have explained that they ended up feeling cheated by Antonio Navarro Tacoronte, the mediator who gives the investigation its name.

The investigation contains the document in which they expressly designate “excellent” Navarro Tacoronte as “mediator” between the ASDrones company and the Canarian Government and all public institutions.

The defendants have added that the efforts to achieve implantation in the Canary Islands with the corresponding tax benefits had to be processed through the Tetir agency, owned by former socialist deputy Juan Bernardo Fuentes Curbelo, ‘Tito Berni’. The headquarters was searched the day of the deputy’s arrest

The daughters of the drones have also explained that they had a meeting with the nephew of Tito Berni, the former general director of Livestock of the Canary Islands Taishet Fuentes, to introduce him to the drones of his company and suggest possible uses in his field, such as locating lost cattle. .

They have added that they also had another meeting with the then General Director of Health, Conrado Domínguez. In their case, they raised the possibility that drones could be used to distribute medicines.

Domínguez’s name appears mentioned on various occasions in the investigation due to his relationship with the mediator, but he has not been charged.
