The Civil Guard has intervened this morning the Treasury of the Tenerife Command in the framework of the so-called Mediator case after suspecting that irregularities may have occurred in the payments of minor works as well as other accounting movements and purchases of material, as confirmed to EL WORLD sources close to the investigation.
The Internal Affairs Section of the Armed Institute is requesting information from all units and a controller posted from Madrid will be in charge of controlling all accounts. This special unit of the Civil Guard has requested the information to verify if the works that are under suspicion have really been executed and if the awarding of contracts was favored from the Headquarters of the Command.
This operation coincides with the outbreak of the Mediator case and splashes one of its central axes: General Francisco Espinosa, the only member of the “criminal organization”, in the words of the magistrate investigating the matter, who remains in prison. Espinosa was for years the highest authority of the Civil Guard in the Canary Islands.
Mediator has as “top vertex” former socialist deputy Juan Bernardo Fuentes, his nephew (former Canarian politician) as well as a series of businessmen who allegedly paid ‘bites’ or gave gifts to the members of the plot to access favors or funds public.
