Eduardo Zaplana's tax advisor, Francisco Grau, tried to divert and omit to respond to the questions raised by the prosecutor. The lack of specificity from the advisor to the former president of the Generalitat Valenciana and former minister has been the subject of several calls for attention from the Valencia Court.
Grau is accused of participating in the alleged plot designed to collect and launder illegal commissions paid by the brothers Vicente and José Cotino, winners of part of the concessions for the wind farms and the electricity service. The prosecution is asking for eight years in prison for the crimes of falsehood and money laundering.. “He makes a will but it is not,” he also stated when questioned about a document seized by the Civil Guard and referring to the distribution that Zaplan's front man and friend was going to make of his assets in the event of death. ‘I don't know what I said because I've been here all morning,’ was another of Grau's responses.
