The officer of the Property Registry of Teguise between the years 2008 and 2012 will sit next week in the dock, accused of a continued crime of misappropriation, for having kept more than 110,000 euros from this body.
The Prosecutor's Office is asking for 6 years in prison and a fine of 7,200 euros, as well as the return of a total of 112,997 euros allegedly stolen, plus the corresponding interest.
According to the qualification document, the accused used his position "of maximum trust in the Registry" to appropriate these funds. In this regard, he explains that in the absence of the registrar, the maximum responsibility for the operation of the Registry depended on him, and he also had among his functions that of collecting daily the money that was entered from each operation, "recording it in the computer program and verifying its entry into the bank account of the Registry, being the only worker authorized for such operations."
In some cases, the Public Prosecutor's Office maintains that he even recorded the collection in the computer system, but then did not make the deposit in the bank account. According to expert reports, he would have appropriated 85,881.63 euros in this way.
In addition, in other cases, the prosecution argues that he would "make documents that had been dispatched disappear", so they do not even appear as collected in the application, nor of course deposited in the account. Through this second route, the amount stolen would amount to 27,111.27 euros.
The trial will be held on November 12 before the Sixth Section of the Provincial Court, at 9:20 a.m., although given the short time indicated for the hearing (the next trial of that room is scheduled for that same morning at 11:15 a.m.), an agreement of conformity could have been reached.
