The Alicante Prosecutor’s Office has requested six years in prison for the former manager of the Alicante College of Physicians for a continued crime of aggravated fraud with the Civil Liability policy of medical associations between 2014 and 2018, a time in which they allegedly deviated 760,547 euros.
In a statement, the COMA has ensured that the Public Prosecutor’s Office also requests four years in prison for the wife of the former manager, for the representative of a company and for a former employee of the collegiate institution and his wife, after the complaint filed by the Board of Directors of the Official Association when detecting irregularities in the previous administration.
The facts investigated are also constitutive, according to the prosecutor, of a crime of belonging to a criminal group, for which reason he requests for all of them another six months in prison, and the opening of an oral trial in the Provincial Court.
The president of the College, Hermann Schwarz, has expressed his satisfaction for the support it means for the decisions that the Board of Directors adopted to file legal actions, and has stressed that they will continue “to exercise the private prosecution until the total recovery of the 760,000 euros” that presumably they were stolen from the college coffers.
This request for convictions by the Public Ministry comes almost five years after the Board of Directors led at the time by MarÃa Isabel Moya, current vice president, commissioned internal audits, detecting irregularities in management and administration.
