Juan Luis Pagalday Barruetabeña, Mallabia mayor from 1991 to 1995 by the PNV, was remanded in custody in December to serve the sentence imposed by the Criminal Chamber of the Supreme Court three years and six months imprisonment and eight of disqualification as an author, along with then-secretary interim municipal comptroller, of embezzling 391,303 euros of funding from the Town Hall.
few months later that the Second Criminal Chamber of the Supreme Court resolved the appeal against a ruling of the Court of Bizkaia April 2007, in December, the former mayor of Mallabia went to prison to serve the sentence of three years and six months as the author of a continuing offense of embezzlement of public funds, in competition with a similar ideal of falsifying official documents and commercial.
Firstly, Juan Luis and Maria Gloria Suberviola Pagalday Rubio, the other involved in the embezzlement modest coffers mallabitarra City, were convicted of Biscay Court for the same offense to seven years in prison and disqualification total of fifteen years, and Consistory to indemnify jointly to pay 391,303 euros and the costs of prosecution.
The judges believe that the former mayor of the PNV and the Acting Secretary-comptroller from 1991 to 1995 opened two accounts at a savings institution, not including them in the appropriate accounting records of the City Council and without the knowledge of of any member, primarily those receiving income from contributions by owners of the polygon Goitondo Goikua, ordering that they considered appropriate reimbursement either in cash, either by paying into private accounts of the accused or others.
The irregularities were discovered in the wake of Herri Batasuna access to City Hall after municipal elections in 1995. The social alarm generated led to the new Corporation to seek the intervention of the Basque Public Accounts (TVCP), which audited the books of the Consistory.
Suberviola Pagalday and used those accounts to meet payments under development costs of that industrial area, located in Mallabia, without the mayor was empowered to do so. The operations were known only by the secretary-interventionist and were not registered in municipal accounting.
Convicted invoices issued a series of natural and legal persons that were not real in terms of content and works or services that were not issued by the unions or services appearing thereon. The money raised went into the hands of the politician and his accomplice to cover personal expenses such as buying cars or computers.
Following the audit conducted by the 18,959 euros were discovered TVCP reimbursements and payments for lack of supporting documentation or otherwise to justify the provision of such amount, and another 4,122 euros paid for computer equipment and accessories that defendants allocated to the Consistory, but to his own use.
addition, it was detected and Suberviola Pagalday EUR 59,725 used to pay personal expenses such as photo stories to car dealers. Other 185,737 euros were achieved through no real documentation, bills of companies consisting of works or services, and professional fees, without actually reflect a work, service or service provided.
The reduction by half of the sentence of the Court of Biscay by the Supreme was because the judges complied in part the appeal "for breach of form and violation of law." The stoppage by more than four years in the case, since 29 March 1996 until the conclusion of the trial, was, according to the rapporteur, "an extraordinary delay."
