The Provincial Court of Las Palmas has rejected the incident of nullity raised by the defense of Pedro San Ginés, in which he reiterated the same arguments that he had already unsuccessfully raised to avoid the trial for the seizure of the Montaña Roja desalination plant.
Thus, after having managed to suspend the first day last week, the hearing will finally begin this Tuesday at 9:30 a.m., before the Criminal Court Number 3 of Arrecife.
Along with San Ginés, the former secretary of the Cabildo, Francisco Perdomo, and the former manager of the Insular Water Council, José Juan Hernández Duchemín, will be in the dock, accused of crimes of malfeasance, for having seized a private plant without judicial authorization to hand it over to another company, Canal Gestión.
"The nullity of actions should not be used as a new resource to raise issues already resolved", warns the order of the Court, which recalls that the "argument" raised by San Ginés "was already answered in a resolution against which no appeal was possible", and whose content it recalls "in case it has been forgotten".
In essence, the former president of the Cabildo again insisted that there is no "accusation" in the case, questioning the legitimacy of the people who exercise the popular accusation, and who were councilors of Podemos in the past legislature. However, this has already been resolved in several instances, endorsing the criteria of the investigating judge, who was the one who concluded that there were indications of a crime and who later ordered the opening of oral trial with that bill of indictment.
The Sixth Section of the Court thus confirms its own order issued on April 6, against which no appeal was possible. That is why San Ginés chose to present that incident of nullity, in a strategy that the Chamber questions in its new resolution.
