The Civil Guard command of Tenerife was the one that paid the most money to the Lanzarote businessman through the companies of Ángel Ramón Tejera, alias "Mon"for the rehabilitation of the barracks.

Between 2014 and 2019, the companies managed by Tejera, Angrasurcor, Solocorcho, Canarycork and Impermecork, issued a total of 47 invoices to the Civil Guard Command of Santa Cruz de Tenerife, according to the report carried out by Internal Affairs of the Benemérita.

According to the preliminary proceedings carried out by the Court of Instruction number two of Ávila, Ángel Ramón Tejera and a self-employed worker would have received 927,499.74 euros from this command. In total, the businessman received 3,302,654.42 euros from the 13 territorial units that contracted his services.

 However, the works were allegedly not carried out or half-done. In this line, the Internal Affairs document states that in ten cases the invoiced works were not executed in their entirety. The barracks affected by unfinished works are distributed between La Palma, Tenerife and La Gomera.

In addition, in the case of two barracks in Tenerife the works were oversized, always according to the Internal Affairs report. Meanwhile, in two other barracks in La Palma and El Hierro the execution was "deficient". 

The same report indicates that "in many cases it has not been possible to pronounce on the execution of the unit of the invoiced work, as it is hidden behind subsequent operations, generally painting".

A case with four investigated

After studying the matter, the Court of Ávila declined in the courts of Madrid, since the highest position allegedly involved and pointed out by the statements made, the lieutenant general of the Civil Guard, had the official headquarters in the General Directorate.

Sources from the Superior Court of Justice of Madrid (TSJM) have confirmed to EFE that the head of the Court of Instruction number 3 of Madrid, María Isabel Durántez, maintains two businessmen under investigation, one of them the construction businessman from Lanzarote Angel Ramón Tejera de León, known as "Mon".

The other two investigated in this case are the civil guards Carlos Alonso Rodríguez, former head of the Ávila Command, and Lieutenant General Pedro Vázquez Jarava, who at the time to which the events refer was deputy director general of Support of the armed institute.

For the moment this case has been waiting for eight months for an expert to be appointed to carry out a report to find out if the works match the invoices, as reported this Thursday by Agencia Efe.
