Some of the conversations that [the Prosecutor's Office requested to be incorporated into the "Reyes case"->50460] are between the complainant of Operation "Unión", Carlos Espino, and Fernando Becerra, who offered him a bribe on behalf of Luis Lleó, in exchange for legalizing the Costa Roja plot. The operation also intended to regularize the illegal hotels in Playa Blanca and, according to the UCO, the businessman Juan Francisco Rosa was "the main beneficiary".
In the conversation, Becerra assures Espino that there will be no problem on the part of the government group, and Espino (knowing that the conversation was being recorded) insists on asking about the technicians, because "they are people of José Francisco Reyes. Of Pedro and your brother", referring to Juan Carlos Becerra. "If it is necessary to intervene there, it will be intervened, you know it", Fernando replies.
Carlos Espino(E): And the head of the Technical Office and the secretary?
Fernando Becerra (F): José Francisco and my brother control that.
C.: So, in the end, José Francisco or your brother will have to get involved (?)
F.: In this that I have proposed to you here, they are not going to get involved. They are going to get involved at the moment when if I see any movement, that Luis is going to inform me quickly, that it is not going to happen, who I talk to is my brother. He quickly calls José Francisco, stop with this and that's it.
C.: Aha.
F.: Everyone is going to do it like this. No one is going to get their teeth into it there, no one. In the other things I don't know, because I'm not involved there, but in this specifically no, and in the hotel agreement either, no either. Because there the first ones who are going to stop the cart are the businessmen, they are going to say: "Hey, hey, let's go, this is the solution and we all stay calm here, we don't want any more trouble". And everyone is going to do it like this. You think that they have already charged. They have already charged and already?
C.: Yes, but the appetite is big.
F.: Yes, the appetite is always there, it's big. You have to give them a lot to eat.
Espino continues to raise doubts, and Fernando Becerra insists: "It wasn't just Pedro who charged. So if at any given moment, I have to sit down with my brother and say to him: hey, stop with the stories, damn it. What's happening here? He unlocks it quickly, he doesn't even pay attention, he looks the other way".
In the same conversation, Fernando Becerra links this issue to the party that his brother Juan Carlos presides over. "It's that if it wasn't for that, how would they get money for the PNL campaign. Money was also taken for the PNL campaign. If not, the PNL would be sunk already, because what is the PNL if it has nothing. Thanks to Yaiza".
The dialogue continues along those lines. "Everyone did it wrong, starting with the hotels? It's unparalleled, there's no way to catch it", says Becerra. "Pedro seems to me to be the one who organized most of it", says Carlos Espino. "Pedro and my brother, the two of them. My brother as he was the councilor at that time (he was Minister of Tourism of the Government of the Canary Islands) and he had Pedro as, as? as a firefighter. Between the three of them, the three of them. That has been a trident".
In the context of this conversation, they also talk about the building that then housed the headquarters of the PNL, whose property was shared "50 percent" by Pedro de Armas and Juan Carlos Becerra, although they suggest that the one who really paid for it was "Juan Francisco". However, Fernando says that his brother is no longer listed as the owner. "Pedro bought the warehouse from my brother. They have always gotten along great in business matters (?) The warehouse now belongs to Pedro", he clarifies. A statement that gives rise to a new dialogue:
Carlos Espino (E): And what does he have in there?
Fernando Becerra (F): I don't know. Pedro puts the money in. Pedro doesn't look where he puts the money.
C: No, the guy has made money. Besides, in Playa Blanca the guy has inflated himself with promotions around.
F: Pedro has made a lot of money, and look, and without governing, and without governing.
C: Yes, damn it, but he was telling the other one to sign, don't bother me.
F: But he wasn't governing.
C: In the end he is the one who ran the least risk, because (it is not understood) he gave the tourism license, José Francisco the construction one and Pedro?
F: Pedro was just going to collect. But the three of them have set it up. But you can't even imagine, eh.
