The public ministry asked the magistrate to activate this line of investigation after discovering inconsistencies in one of the

received: "It has several grammatical errors that show that it has been written by someone who, not only does not speak English correctly, but also has Spanish as their mother tongue," says the accusation, according to the summary, to which EL has had access. COUNTRY.

After receiving the request from the public ministry, the judge opened a separate room that he declared secret, and ordered to enter the company and Luceño's home.

The records were carried out last week and, according to police sources, at least one computer was intervened.

The Court of Instruction 47 of Madrid, headed by Adolfo Carretero, received an email on July 22 in the name of San Chin Choon, where a document was attached with the alleged statement given to the Malaysian authorities by the Asian businessman -representative of Leno, the company through which Luceño and Medina acquired the material that they sold to the City Council of the capital—.

In that file, the two defendants were exonerated.

But the magistrate has always questioned his authorship.

And, after analyzing it, the public ministry concluded that it contains "many aspects" that "lead to suspect its authenticity."

In the first place, Anticorruption emphasizes that the

was sent to the court from an email address that does not coincide with the ones that San Chin Choon used, and that appear in the summary.

“It is written in English and Luceño stated in his statement that San Chin Choon does not speak English,” adds the public ministry, before listing the numerous “grammatical errors” that lead him to suspect that a Spanish-speaker has written it.

“The term '

' appears, which does not exist in the English language (the correct term could be '

' or '

', but never '

' or even '

', which would be a crude adaptation of the Spanish term 'helplessness'”.

"In the answer to the question about whether he knows Luceño and Medina, he says 'To Mr. Alberto Luceño yes, to Mr. Medina no,' which is once again a crude transcription of the answer that would be given in Spanish," continues the Prosecutor's Office: "The word 'sojabean' is used, which does not exist in English either."

The public ministry also "calls attention" to the fact that, despite all the emails and WhatsApp messages that appear in the summary, Luceño "has not provided a single message" that corroborates his conversations with San Chin Choon to acquire the material. health, “when it seems evident that he had to cross several messages with him or other Leno managers.”

With all these suspicions on the table, at the beginning of September, the Prosecutor's Office asked the judge to authorize the searches to find out if he keeps "documents or messages" of the operations under suspicion at his home or in his company, which allow "knowing essential data ”: “In particular, on the terms in which the collection of commissions was agreed with the representatives of the Leno company”.

In line with the accusation, the judge also emphasizes that several dates mentioned in the

received on behalf of San Chin Choon "contradict the conclusions of the Scientific Police."

The judge keeps Medina and Luceño charged with crimes of aggravated fraud, money laundering and document falsity - the former, in addition, attributes concealment of assets.

The Prosecutor's Office denounced that the two businessmen deceived the City Council with three operations to purchase masks, gloves and tests.

"These three contracts, in which Luceño and Medina were involved, constitute a criminalized legal business," the instructor stressed in a resolution: "Luceño, in total collusion with Medina, deceitfully and for profit concealed from the City Council that the price of the masks had risen by 60%, that of gloves by 81% and that of tests by 71%, as a result of the commissions that they had agreed on.”
