The scandal of the ‘black card’ Caja Madrid knows no decency. A report issued Thursday by the Anti-Corruption Prosecutor at the National Court judge Fernando Andreu took half a red face Spain. Some, for shame: 87 directors and senior officers of the box and then Bankia, which had in its portfolio. Others, anger, among which are the nearly 4.5 million unemployed people in the country and a large part of the population. The heads of a broken institution by a disastrous management and rescued by the State with a capital injection of public money squandered over 15 million in nine years, between 2003 and 2012 in large banquets, private tours and private purchases without justification and without going through the Treasury. A sort of bonus ‘in black’ of some of the main responsible for the critical situation in which he was dragged the domestic financial system.
Just hours later, the exact numbers are what those ‘lucky’ owners called opaque cards, a financial product of questionable legality, which was not offered or clients knew more was spent VIP and who have benefited placed makers ‘hand-picked’ by the PP, but also charges the PSOE, Izquierda Unida and the UGT, CCOO.
How is it possible to spend more than 60,000 euros in a year when bingeing and hotels? Holders of these plastics ‘in black’ were supposed to use for expenses related to his professional activities, such as travel and meals, even if it already had other cards of the entity to which load those disbursements. But almost all were hand was when ‘moment’ by dataphone. There were those who included their whims marked -bed textiles, shopping at Mercadona or El Corte Ingles, and who brought with her magic card ‘black’ (black) cash from an ATM to destinations that are not known and probably are shameful, as sources have revealed research.
In fact, in the papers that received the Judge Andreu specified one by one almost the concepts that were used opaque cards. Between 2003 and 2012 two million euros in cash were taken account of these ‘black card’, three million were spent at restaurants and used in feeding 500,000 euros, reveal some media.
But these costs have names. There’s a face behind every operation. Puts the list of the 85 counts of the entity who did use them. A relationship that allowed the scandal protagonists personalities of all ideologies, camps and parties and also reveals who looted Caja Madrid even in the worst moments of the crisis and was about to merge with Caja de Ahorros del Mediterráneo 8CAM) and others to create Bankia, the giant who had to be rescued by all Spanish
These are the main beneficiaries of the cards under investigation.
Ildefonso Sánchez Barcoj (482,200 euros)
ldefonso Sánchez Barcoj.
Worked for Caja Madrid during 34, from which it entered in 1978 until his departure in 2012, when he was finance director. That year, Mr. Goirigolzarri took command of the company and ended his long career as a ‘green man’. Also belonged to the core of the previous directives, something that was fashioned for his years of work: so long in the gut made him familiar with many details and keeper of many secrets. Perhaps that is why she burned her opaque card: it was the man who spent more money with her, with an average of 60,275 euros each year that were used … and eight in 2011 and 2012 because there are no movements registered in your name.
Moral José Antonio Santin (456,500 euros)
Caja Madrid was president during the years of scandal cards and then, after the merger with Bankia, formed the board of directors. Politically, he has always been close to the left. First as a member of the pro-Soviet sector PCE. In 1986 he joined the United Left. He also served as head of Telemadrid before landing in the bank. From 2003-2012 he squandered 456,500 euros. It started with 28,900 the first year and ended 5700; however, came to spend 68,900 euros only in 2008, when it was envisioned that the crisis had budding was not a passing cloud.
Ricardo Morado Churches (448,300 euros)
organization was director of Caja Madrid. In March last year was sued by UPyD to other officials of the company for fraud and misappropriation. Training alleged that between 2007 and 2010 from 71.9 million euros a dozen officers were distributed. Purple would have pocketed 6.2. For cards in black squandered 448,300 euros from 2003 to 2010
Juan Astorqui.
Miguel Blesa de la Parra (436,700 euros)
Caja Madrid was president from 1996 to 2009, at the proposal of the PP, despite having no experience in the financial sector. In January 2010 he sustiyó Rodrigo Rato. The amount to be spent with your opaque card amounts to 436,700 euros, but this is a lesser evil among all those who threaten it. Blesa is charged for their possible involvement in irregular loans Marsans Group and the sale of City National Bank of Florida. The latter took him to jail in June last year for a fortnight.
Ramon Ferraz Ricarte (397,900 euros)
The Most
It was one of the star signings Miguel Blesa when he came to power in Caja Madrid. He holds a degree in Economics and before the bank acted as inspector of State Finance, where he asked for a leave of absence, and chartered accountant. He joined the company in 1996 and with its dark board about 49,700 euros a year was spent.
Matias Amat Roca (389,000 euros)
Matias Amat Roca
is one of the directors of Caja Madrid trusted Blesa and as Ricardo Morado Iglesias, was denounced by UPyD for fraud and misappropriation by accepting a bonus of 9 7 million between 2007 and 2010 From his ‘black card’ out 389,000 euros until 2010, when he was CEO of Business. Amat is also the creator of the venture capital fund Pujanza Kapital.
Mariano Pérez Claver (379,500 euros)
It was financial and commercial director of Caja Madrid and so had a black card that was used until 2010, won the trust of Blesa, he was sent to preside over the current Deoleo, world leader in sales of olive oil, and SOS Cuétara (which was the company’s main shareholder) in a delicate moment. In 2011 he joined the network of NH Hoteles as president. It gained 1.1 million compensation for being 21 months in office.
Enrique de la Torre (320,700 euros)
has served as secretary of the Board of Directors of Caja Madrid. The 320.700 euros was spent in three years. It was more the year 2008, when more than 63,000 euros were polished. The least, with 26,000, was 2004 of Blesa was right and he was accused of having supposedly better taxation in 2011, then published as Expansion.
Juan Astorqui Portera (293,000 euros)
It was another one of the strong men of Blesa, she trusted blindly. He was director of communications until the arrival of Rodrigo Rato. Then they showed him the exit door and life looked at other companies. Currently he is CEO of Burson-Marsteller, a public relations agency and the world’s largest communications. He benefited 293,000 euros, but striking rate of spending. Since the arrival of Rato in January 2010 until his head cut off in March, 27,900 euros melted. Perhaps it was a way to get back what I suspected was going to happen because the first year we made moves with your card, 2003, only 1,000 euros squandered more. In his last full year at Caja Madrid, however, was spent 51,700.
Mercedes de la Merced (287,900 euros)
Mercedes de la Merced.
This degree in Arts underwent hand policy of the Popular Party. Even he was a member of the European Parliament between 1994 and 1999 was also right hand of former mayor of Madrid José María Álvarez del Manzano. It was part of the Board of Caja Madrid, and benefited from 287,900 euros. It is the only woman in the top ten list of wasteful and also the only member who is not may request explanations. He died on May 5, 2013 because of a cancer that was diagnosed months earlier.
Other colorful names
The interest from the list of who took advantage of the black cards Caja Madrid does not end with these names. Digging one by one, we also find plenty of other personalities known for one reason or another.
So, for example, is Gerardo Diaz Ferran , owner of Marsans Group and now in prison for concealment of assets and money laundering. The president of the CEOE employers spent 94,000 euros total in four years. It started soft with 600 euros in 2005, but had the card for two years prior to melt 64,100 last year movements with her 2009 recording.
Another such whimsical names that are in the list is the Rafael Spottorno . He was head of the King’s House from 2011 to the resignation of John I. Cafrlos had previously served as secretary general of the Zarzuela between September 1993 and 2002 diplomatic 223,900 euros was spent since entering the Caja Madrid Foundation in September 2002 until 2011, when he left the company. The figure is equivalent to about 28,000 per year
Arturo Fernandez.
The president of Madrid’s patron (CISM), Arturo Fernandez , also had open bar at Bankia as a member of the board. 37,300 euros was spent with that famous card. It has attempted to explain why. In his speech, that money was melted in three years, at a rate of about 800 per month, but in a “responsible” things like concepts like “gasoline or some food” and in no case did a “sumptuous use.” Another headache for more employer in the eye of the hurricane for the problems of his catering business, the Group Cantoblanco, star of several embargoes by the Inland Revenue for unpaid workers.
We also noticed a Rodrigo Rato , chairman of Bankia 2010 to 2012 The former Second Vice President and Minister of Economy between 1996 and 2004 , during the governments of Jose Maria Aznar 44,200 euros was spent with his ‘black card’. This it did during the same period, the 2010, nothing else to occupy his new office and during the months that carried the merger of Caja Madrid with BFA to form the framework of the current entity.
