The MEP Luis ‘Alvise’ Pérez has announced to Judge José Luis Calama, that he offered to testify voluntarily after opening an investigation for a possible crime of illegal financing, which finally will not appear to give a statement despite having initially indicated his intention to do so.
Alvise Pérez thus responds to the ruling, to which EFE has had access, in which the judge of the National Court He offers to set a date for his statement in ten days after his lawyer verbally informed him that his client would appear in this case.
That was the intention expressed by the lawyer on the same day that Alvise Pérez did not appear for a first summonson November 20, claiming to be in Brussels (Belgium), and to which he did go Alvaro Romillothe businessman investigated for alleged fraud in relation to the Madeira Invest platform and who confirmed that day having given 100,000 euros to the MEP for the electoral campaign.
Now, however, the lawyer responds to the judge’s order – issued two days after he did not appear – that finally “the decision has been made that Mr. Pérez Fernández not attend such a statement.”
“All this so that your Honor can have complete certainty that among the procedures in the course of this investigation you want to carry out, there will not be found the one to provide to my client, since The ultimate intention of this report is to unnecessarily delay your Honor’s time.“, states the writing, to which EFE has had access.
When Calama summoned him, despite the fact that the leader of The Party is Over this declared before the Supreme Court for being a European parliamentarianthe magistrate specified that the admission of a complaint to processing does not constitute an act of “formal imputation”, and thus offered him to testify voluntarily.
However, Alvise has so far chosen to appeal the order admitting the complaint to processing and to refuse the judge’s offer.
The case open to Alvise is a separate piece of the procedure on an alleged pyramid scheme committed through the Madeira Invest investment platform.
The founder of this supposed financial beach bar, businessman Álvaro Romillo – investigated for this alleged scam – was the one who denounced the MEP, whom he said he had handed over on May 27, 2024, before the European elections, 100,000 euros for the campaign.
In the order admitting Romillo’s complaint to processing, the judge also points out that Alvise could be considered a necessary cooperator or accomplice in the alleged Madeira Invest scam, “given the involvement that is attributed to him in the complaint.” in the promotion of the allegedly illicit activity carried out through the financial network generated around” the platform.
After learning about the payment of 100,000 euros, Alvise declared himself “guilty as self-employed” of having charged for his work without the required invoice and has encouraged his followers to fiscal insubordination.
He thus reduced the matter to a “invoice without VAT” for the collection of those “private fees without invoice” that he says he accepted in order to have more savings in order to not get rich from his public activity.
He was also convinced that it will be resolved “as always” because behind “the slander and the intermittent messages there is nothing more than a supplement from the Treasury.”
