Salvador Alba maneuvered to harm the current delegate against Gender Violence and feed a lawsuit against her


The former deputy Victoria Rosell and Judge Salvador Alba (behind her), in September 2019 in the Superior Court of Justice of the Canary Islands Elvira Urquijo A.

The permanent commission of the General Council of the Judiciary has agreed this Thursday to start the file to expel Judge Salvador Alba from the judicial career, after having been sentenced by final sentence to six years in prison and 18 years of disqualification for his illegal actions against the judge now on leave of absence Victoria Rosell, who is currently the Government delegate against Gender Violence.

Alba was convicted of the crimes of bribery, judicial prevarication and falsehood in a public document, all in relation to his machinations to harm Rosell, whom he was replacing in the Court of Instruction Number 8 of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. The judgment of the Supreme Court - which rejected Alba's appeal for cassation - supposes the definitive loss of the position he holds and the honors that are attached to him, as well as the inability to obtain during the time of the conviction any job or position with jurisdictional functions or government within the Judicial Branch or with jurisdictional functions outside it.

Article 379.1 of the Organic Law of the Judiciary establishes that the status of judges or magistrates will be lost, among other causes, “due to the sentence to imprisonment for a fraudulent crime”, for which reason the Permanent Commission has considered it appropriate to initiate a file of loss of the status of magistrate of Salvador Alba, who is in the administrative situation of provisional suspension of functions since July 19, 2018 by agreement of the same Commission, as a result of the order to open an oral trial issued against him. The initial sentence was handed down on September 10, 2019 by the Civil and Criminal Chamber of the Superior Court of Justice of the Canary Islands and confirmed on November 25, 2021 by the Second Chamber of the Supreme Court, which on December 30 sent a copy testified of its resolution to the CGPJ.

The facts described in the sentence reflect that Alba contacted a businessman investigated by the court, Miguel Ángel Ramírez, president of Seguridad Integral Canaria, in order to provide him with compromising documentation against Judge Rosell, which he replaced at his own request. “In exchange” - the Supreme Court ruling affirmed - “Salvador Alba committed himself to a declaration of nullity of actions that would prevent the continuation of the procedure, and even to pronounce on the merits of the matter, a decision that could be favorable to the interests of the Lord Ramírez, preventing further actions by the Tax Agency ”.

Salvador Alba, in turn, obtained through this procedure “information that was harmful to the public image of Victoria Rosell, as well as to increase the chances that the complaint filed before the Supreme Court by José Manuel Soria (then Minister of Industry and leader of the PP in the Canary Islands) in the criminal procedure promoted by this against the then deputy Mrs. Rosell, a complaint pending admission to the Supreme Court ”.

This complaint was later filed by the Criminal Chamber.

The Council of the Judiciary will now notify the agreement on the initiation of Alba's expulsion file to the Public Prosecutor's Office and the Government Chamber of the Superior Court of Justice of the Canary Islands in order to issue a report, and to the interested party to allege what to his right is appropriate.
