Civil Guard Lieutenant Colonel Carlos Alonso Rodríguez has an appointment to testify on April 17 in the context of the open case for the Cuarteles case. This was announced by Agencia Efe. The former head of the Civil Guard Command in Ávila had requested a week ago to appear before the investigating judge in the case.
Alonso requested the judge of Instruction number 3 of Madrid, Isabel Durántez, to take his statement in order to explain that he has not committed any irregularities. The lieutenant colonel is being investigated in this case along with the lieutenant general of the Armed Institute Pedro Vázquez Jarava, former head of the General Subdirectorate of Support of the Civil Guard, the businessman from Lanzarote Ángel Ramón Tejera de León, known as "Mon" and another businessman.
The magistrate is investigating whether, as denounced by Internal Affairs of the Benemérita, there were irregularities in the awarding of works to thirteen command posts throughout Spain, which were not carried out or were partially carried out after being awarded to Tejera de León for a total value of 3.3 million euros between 2008 and 2019.
The Provincial Court of Madrid recently rejected the dismissal of the case for Carlos Alonso Rodríguez, arguing the discordance between the works carried out in Civil Guard barracks in Ávila and the content of the invoices that were issued, especially after the statement of the Canary Islands businessman in which he admitted that alleged irregular billing.
