It has been the great surprise of the plenary session that the Cabildo held this Friday. A legal report provided by the government group recommends that the conclusions of the audit of the Tourist Centers be transferred to the Prosecutor's Office, to investigate if there were possible criminal acts in the management of the CACT,s of those years, given the irregularities detected by the auditing company KPGM.
With that report in hand, the plenary has decided to follow its recommendation and transfer the facts to the Public Prosecutor, but although the measure has had the favorable votes of the PSOE, the controversy has not been absent. The socialists have questioned that the presentation of this report has been done "at the last minute and without previously going through the Finance Committee of the Cabildo", but above all they insist on subtracting validity from an audit that they consider "incomplete", and that directly affects the management carried out by Enrique Pérez Parrilla, president of the Cabildo in most of that period, and also the socialist Miguel Ángel Leal, as CEO of the Centers.
Surprise
"It is surprising that the lawyers responsible for this legal report have not worked on the documentation in the Cabildo, but on a document made by KPGM, to which its own authors deny the condition of audit, for not having adjusted its preparation to the Technical Audit Standards, recognizing that the Cabildo did not make all the necessary information available to them", says the Socialist Party. In addition, they show "their doubts regarding whether the complaint will be admitted for processing, considering that in the event that it is admitted, very probably, the proceedings that are carried out would lead to its dismissal".
In any case, the socialists clarify that they have given their support to this measure because they consider that "if their public officials have knowledge of reports that imply the possible existence of behaviors that could be considered criminal, their obligation is to transfer them to the competent authorities". An explanation that is in line with the one they provided just three days ago, when another political storm broke out after it became public that Carlos Espino transferred a report to the Udyco that led to telephone tapping of the mayors of Yaiza and Teguise.
In this sense, the Socialist Party also takes the opportunity to reproach that the president of the Cabildo, Inés Rojas, does not have the same attitude with other issues as with the audit of the Centers, such as the case of the license for the thousand homes granted by José Francisco Reyes, and for which there was also a legal report recommending that the facts be brought to the attention of the Prosecutor's Office.
In addition, and in line with criticisms of the Cabildo's government group, the socialists add that "the request for a hasty report on an audit that is not one, may be due to the scandalous results of the different surveys that place Coalición Canaria as a loser in most of the island's institutions and as a smokescreen that tries to hide the indictment and prosecution of several of its public officials and candidates in urban corruption scandals".
