The judge of the National Court María Tardón has opened previous proceedings following Miguel Urbán's complaint for the police assembly attributed drug trafficking with the alleged objective of financing Podemos. The magistrate has requested a report from the Prosecutor's Office before deciding whether to open an investigation.
The founder of Podemos Miguel Urbán filed a complaint at the National Court last July in which he accused of several crimes to a group of police officers destined in the heart of state security during the government of Mariano Rajoy. The complaint stressed by distribution in the Court of Instruction number 3, which now awaits the Fiscal Ministry report.
The text of the complaint indicates to the today retired commissioner José Luis Olivera, at the time Director of the Intelligence Center against Organized Crime and Terrorism, and who was head of the Unit against Economic and Fiscal Crime (UDEF) of the Police, José Manuel García Catalán, as well as the officials of those agencies that “are accredited after the relevant information”.
Urbán also points to those members of the Unit against Crime and Organized Crime (UDYCO) and the National Fraud Research Office (ONIF), the latter belonging to the Treasury who could also participate in the assembly. To all of them, the crimes of slander, intrusion into intimacy, documentary falsehood, embezzlement and prevarication are attributed to them.
In the complaint, the information of this newspaper is reproduced according to which Commissioner Olivera moved the crazy testimony of a confidant who, anonymously, described as Urbán, being Eurodiputa, consumed the sale of 40 kilos of cocaine in an apartment located on the new pub pub, in the Madrid neighborhood of Malasaña. Urbán, according to the story that served to open some investigation proceedings of the Anti -Drug Prosecutor's Office, would have confessed right there that it was Cocaine of Venezuela to finance Podemos.
“The police – the complaint recalls – without any judicial authorization, acting illegally and violating the rights of Mr. Urbán, search in the economic life of the anti -capitalist militant.” He also warns in the fact that Urbán was Eurodiputa at the time of assembly and warns that the members of the European Parliament “enjoy a parliamentary immunity regime that gives them certain legal protections to guarantee free and independent exercise of their mandate.”
Urbán's legal representation warns that the assembly against his represented had “the spurious purpose of harming the political party we can already anti -capitalist and, obviously, to Mr. Urbán in his capacity as a member of the referred parties, taking into account that he was a aggroid European parliamentarian and having been chosen in elections for the people”.
The Prosecutor's Office must decide, in the first place, on the competence of the case, if it corresponds to the Anti -Corruption Prosecutor's Office or his companions destined at the National Court assume the cause, in the event that he appreciates indications of crime. Another National Court Court investigates the police maneuvers against Podemos in the same assembly period to Urbán.
The first option of the former party funder was appeared as an accusation in that case of the Court of Instruction number 5, but Judge Santiago Pedraz, in accordance with the prosecutor of the case, rejected that possibility when considering that it is different facts.
