Ubaldo Becerra, the former Arrecife councilor for the Party of Independents of Lanzarote (PIL), for whom the Prosecutor's Office is asking for 17 years in prison in piece number 12 of the Unión case, has joined the list of repentant. In a recent writing, he emphasizes that he recognized the criminal acts from the first moment, when he was arrested in May 2009 and was "the first" to do so. He also points out that he made himself available to Justice for the "clarification" of the facts and goes so far as to say that he was "the promoter of the discovery of the facts." In addition, he has returned part of the defrauded money.
Specifically, Becerrra has paid 11,000 euros, a fifth of the damage caused. In addition, the house has also been seized to cover civil liability. The truth is that Becerra's confession made it possible to implicate other councilors and learn about the commissions paid by some businessmen. The former mayor emphasizes this and that he provided data and documents to the justice system to request the Prosecutor's Office to reduce the prison sentence he is asking for him.
Of the 14 defendants in the case investigating the illegal commissions that were charged in the Arrecife City Council, there are already 6 who have recognized the facts and have begun to return the defrauded money. Ubaldo Becerra and Dimas Martín face the same penalty for a long series of crimes. However, Martín is the only one of the four accused of belonging to an illicit association who has not recognized the facts.
