“Para de Ginés” accusation asks judge to investigate socialist Rafael Pineda’s mediation in favor of mayor

The petition arrived at the table of Judge José Ignacio Villaplana last week after this newspaper reported in one of its reports in 2014 that the Civil Guard: Pineda incidentsays that a man who was the caretaker of Ripassam during the time of Mayor Sánchez Monteceirin boasted that he would “break his neck” to save the socialist Mayor Ginés from a lawsuit related to the organization of the livestock fair.

It happens at a critical moment in an incident. In September 2024, the preliminary judge in the case of the state of Pará appointed the current mayor of this municipality, the former first mayor and nine other municipal officials who are part of the different management committees of the Consistory, the technical architect of the municipality, the auditor, the administrators of several beneficiary organizations, and Four former brothers of the Rossio Brotherhood of the town. In the resolution, the judge excluded former state Assembly Speaker Fernando Rodríguez Villalobos and other former high-ranking state officials.

1 year later Public Prosecutors Office He called for charges to be filed, saying there was no criminality in the actions of Garrido and the other investigators, but charges filed by two former city councilors from Imagines, the municipal organization that reported the incident, have demanded 20 years in prison against the socialist mayor. It is up to the judge to decide whether to close the case or order an oral trial to begin.

Now, as reported by this newspaper, it is known that private security personnel interviewed a criminal organization specializing in money laundering related to drug trafficking and determined that Pineda had used the political “influence” of his position. Chief of Staff of the Andalusian Government Delegation Free Romualdo Garrido. These wiretaps include numerous conversations between Pineda and one of the major drug traffickers about the efforts and favors the Socialists bestowed on the agent.

Those favors include Mr. Pineda’s mediation with Mayor Guinness to speed up the city’s reopening. Pharmacies selling drinks and food To this end, the two socialists held several meetings. The scar not only reveals the friendship between the two socialist leaders, but also reveals everything Pedro Fernández did for Councilor Ginés during the Para de Ginés incident, even admitting that he “left a lot of hair in the cat’s mouth for him.”

However, the intercepted telephone communications contained many more messages. According to the Judicial Police, the chief of staff of the Andalusian government delegation expressed gratitude for the goodwill he had received from Mr. Garrido and acknowledged:He’s going to break his face to get kicked out of the investigative court.». Previously, in another conversation, Mr. Pineda admitted that “we are doing a good job with him and he has been purging for more than seven years,” which, according to the Civil Guard, seems to indicate that he is doing some work from both the PSOE and the PSOE in this criminal proceeding against the mayor.

This “arbitration” is used by Pineda to influence Romualdo Garrido into getting involved in the opening of a drug associate’s bar. The UCO itself, in another official document in the case investigating the urban planning operations of Pineda and his wife and other partners involved in the Enbisesa conspiracy, states that the former chief of staff of the government delegation “would have taken steps to ensure that this mayor, together with 19 others, would have opened a criminal case in Seville’s 6th Command Court on charges of predetermination, but at the moment there is no evidence that they have not done so.” carried out or had some effect. ”

This provoked a reaction from José Antonio Siles, the lawyer for the two former Imagine city councilors who are making the general accusation. On Tuesday of this week, he submitted a document asking for consent to include Para de Ginés in the process. police report This is valid in a lawsuit being held in Seville’s Court No. 10 to investigate the failure of urban planning in which the Pinedas sold a plot of land in Higueron from Embisesa, which they had accessed in 2016 through the municipal housing company’s rental process, for twice the price they had bought it for five months earlier.

Regarding the general condemnation of the Para de Ginés incident, the report said: “Provides direct evidence The investigation of this case is affected by the alleged “participation” of third parties supporting Mayor Romualdo Garrido, and the conclusions of the Civil Guard Judicial Police may “contribute to clarifying the facts and identifying the responsibility of those investigated.”

We therefore ask the judge to consent to the incorporation of the aforementioned report into this proceeding. necessary measures If necessary, ensure that the private security forces transmit report testimony to this court, respecting the confidentiality of the proceedings.

Meanwhile, José Antonio Siles told the ABC that he hoped the turn of events would encourage the public prosecutor’s office, as a guarantor of legality and public interest, to “proceed with criminal proceedings if there are sufficient elements to prove what is contained in the private security report and if it adopts a position consistent with its constitutional role.” Revise your initial decision And it continues to make accusations while not leaving in legal ambiguity some facts that could constitute very serious crimes.
