"The decision of the Provincial Court does not affect or alter the position of the Public Prosecutor's Office in this procedure, which is pending the holding of the trial." This is how the Prosecutor's Office has assessed the order made public this Thursday, which annuls the searches of Luis Lleó's home and offices in the "Unión" case.
In a statement, the chief prosecutor of the province of Las Palmas, Guillermo García Panasco, points out that the decision of the Court refers to the separate piece for the alleged attempted bribery of Luis Lleó, through Fernando Becerra, to the then councilor Carlos Espino, who was the complainant in the case. "With respect to this case, the Prosecutor's Office already formulated a letter of accusation in the month of May 2013, in which no evidentiary material derived from that entry and registration was taken into account," emphasizes the Public Prosecutor's Office.
In fact, it also recalls that the Provincial Prosecutor's Office of Las Palmas "already issued in the month of July 2013, in another separate piece, an opinion in which it motivatedly requested the nullity of these same judicial resolutions (which until that moment had not been notified to it), and the consequent filing of that case".
In the piece for the alleged attempted bribery of Lleó, which is awaiting trial, the Prosecutor's Office is asking for six years in prison for the businessman, for a continuing crime of bribery, and a year and a half for Fernando Becerra, who acted as an intermediary.
