The Second Section of the Provincial Court of Las Palmas will hold next week in Arrecife the continuation of the oral trial against the owner of a construction company and two real estate companies in Lanzarote accused of a continued corporate crime and another continued crime of falsification of a commercial document, as well as against four other defendants as alleged necessary cooperators.
According to the Prosecutor's Office's indictment, the defendant K.L.T. was already convicted in 2018 of a crime against the Public Treasury, as administrator of the company Inversiones Laaroussi Ramos SL, with fiscal address in Costa Teguise.
The Public Prosecutor's Office argues that the defendant, "with a clear intention to favor himself and third parties and aware of the economic damage" that he generated to the company and its partner, sold with a repurchase agreement (the buyer must return to the seller for its sale price) several properties of social ownership and two plots of land in Tías.
Among the buyers was a political cousin of the defendant, J.C.B., administrator of another entity, and also accused in the case, who took 50% of those properties and M.C.M.D. and A.H.F.M, who each acquired the remaining 25%.
The Public Ministry points out that K.L.T. sold the aforementioned properties in June 2015 for three million euros, although they were really worth more than 17.3 million euros in total. According to the aforementioned writing, K.L.T. used around 2.6 million euros of the money obtained in the sale to pay the sentence against the Public Treasury and without returning the benefits to the company that owns the land.
The Prosecutor's Office adds that the defendants who took over the properties, allegedly sold the land to another entity on the same day of the purchase, which had been created days before by a fourth defendant D.A.C.Q.
K.L.T. supposedly to prevent the rest of the partners of the entity Inversiones Laroussi Ramos SL, to which the land belonged, from discovering the alleged crime, approved the general accounts of the company between the years 2010 and 2013 without summoning the main partner or the minority partners.
The Public Prosecutor's Office asks for the defendant K.L.T, partner of Inversiones Laroussi Ramos SL, the prison sentence of four years and special disqualification for the right to passive suffrage for an alleged continued corporate crime and requests another 2 and a half years for a continued crime of falsification in a commercial document, a fine of eleven months at a rate of 100 euros. In the event of not complying with the fine, he must pay the subsidiary responsibility. In addition, the Prosecutor's Office attributes the payment of costs to him.
While for one of the alleged collaborators, J.C.B.D. requests two and a half years of prison for a continued corporate crime. For the "necessary cooperators" M.C.M.D. and A.H.F.M. reduces to two years of prison and disqualification for the right to passive suffrage during the time of the sentences for a continued corporate crime. Finally, for D.A.C.Q. requests 18 months of prison with the corresponding disqualification under the same crime.
To conclude, the Public Prosecutor's Office requests the nullity of the three public deeds that were carried out during the process.
