The file through which the Scientific and Technological Park, a public company dependent on the Cabildo de Tenerife, acquired in 2012 two pieces of land owned by the Tenerife Sports Club for a value of 18.9 million euros “had all the reports of the appropriate services”. This was stated yesterday by the secretary general of the Canarian Coalition (CC), Fernando Clavijo, a party that at the time of the purchase governed the island institution together with the Socialist Party (PSOE). The also senator for the Autonomous Community stressed that it is a file “of more than ten years” and that now the justice system must decide “what it is going to do”.
Clavijo acknowledged not knowing the file “in depth” but showed “maximum respect” for the investigation opened by the Prosecutor’s Office, which asks that the current Minister of Security and Public Administrations of the Canarian Government, the socialist Julio Pérez, and two former presidents of the Tenerife Cabildo, Ricardo Melchior and Carlos Alonso, both from CC, be called to testify, among other political positions that were also members of the Board of Directors of the Science and Technology Park of Tenerife.
The Prosecutor’s Office has recently transferred to the Courts the main file of the Geneto case, that has fallen to the Court of Instruction Number 3 that has not yet opened preliminary proceedings. According to the prosecutor’s report, the directors approved the sale of the land knowing that they were being paid above their market price and that the disbursement of the 18.9 million euros would plunge the public company into serious problems. of the Island Corporation, despite the fact that the funds would end up in the hands of a private limited company in serious crisis.
