The businessman from Lanzarote Ángel Ramón Tejera, better known as "Mon", allegedly paid for trips and hotel nights for a high-ranking official of the Civil Guard. The Canary Islander is one of the four investigated in the framework of the Barracks Case, a case that analyzes possible irregularities in the contracts to carry out works in Civil Guard barracks that benefited Tejera.
Ramón Tejera obtained the contracts to rehabilitate a total of thirteen Civil Guard headquarters. For these works, he pocketed more than three million euros. However, an investigation initiated by a court of instruction in Ávila saw indications of irregularities in the awards.
According to a report from the Internal Affairs of the Civil Guard to which this editorial staff has had access, allegedly all the works were invoiced but some would not have been carried out and others would have been done halfway.
The case continues to be heard by the Court of Instruction number three of Madrid, as it has two high-ranking officials of the corps as investigated: Lieutenant Colonel Carlos Alonso Rodríguez and Lieutenant General, now retired, Pedro Vázquez Jarava.
As reported by the La Razón newspaper, more recent reports from Internal Affairs detail trips made between 2016 and 2017. Vázquez Jarava and Tejera would allegedly be involved in them. The expenses would allegedly have been charged to the accounts of Angrasurcor SL, managed by Tejera, and for the benefit of Lieutenant General Jarava.
Among the destinations collected by the aforementioned unit of the Civil Guard, there would be nights in four and five-star hotels, trips to see Real Madrid play in the Champions League and even a New Year's Eve in Lanzarote.
The businessman from Lanzarote invoiced 1,382,873 million euros only in the works carried out in that year 2016. In 2017, the former director of the Civil Guard, José Manuel Holgado, filed an internal investigation that was open within the framework of what is currently known as the Barracks Case.
Holgado closed the file that, eight months earlier, the Internal Affairs Service had sent, alerting of the "increase in contracts awarded" by different units of the armed institute to the Canary Islands businessman.
