The First Section of the Provincial Court has rejected the request of the new lawyer of the former councilor Lorenzo Lemaur to suspend the trial of the last piece of Montecarlo, as signed in a provision notified this Tuesday, January 24.
As La Voz advanced, the lawyer who was appointed ex officio alleged in a letter addressed to the Court that "he be granted a prudent time to be able to normally instruct the case before the new appointment." However, this request has been rejected.
In this way, the holding of the oral trial will begin on January 31 in Arrecife, it will also be held in the capital of Lanzarote on February 1 and 7, and in the City of Justice of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria it will be on February 8, 9, 10, 13, 14, 15, 16 and 17, 2023.
As will be recalled, the Prosecutor's Office's accusation against Lemaur in this last piece of the Montecarlo case is due to the awarding to the company Tunera of a "project to support the development of the actions and programs of the Arrecife City Council's Neighborhood Council", managed then by Lorenzo Lemaur, which according to the Prosecutor's Office was never executed, and for which the company charged almost 100,000 euros.
This last piece of Montecarlo has many similarities with the Inelcon piece, in which the Chamber acquitted all the accused with the exception of the former auditor of the Arrecife City Council, Carlos Sáenz, and the former Councilor for Finance, Isabel Martinón, who are also accused in this piece, together with the former mayor, José Montelongo, the former councilors Eduardo Lasso, Víctor Sanginés and the municipal workers José Nieves, Miguel Ángel Leal, Blas Antonio Cedrés and Francisco Hernández as well as the businessman Eduardo Ferrer, owner of Tunera Producciones.
