The Superior Court of Justice of the Canary Islands has just agreed on a search and arrest warrant for former judge Salvador Alba after the term to voluntarily enter prison has expired and he has not appeared.
Due to her profession, Alba knows all the existing legal loopholes to prolong a situation that was inevitable, her admission to a penitentiary center to serve a sentence of six and a half years in prison for conspiring against a former partner of hers, Victoria Rosell, who later She went into politics and currently holds the position of Government Delegate against Gender Violence.
Alba was convicted of the crimes of judicial prevarication, bribery and falsehood in a public document and was also given an 18-year disqualification, which in practice will prevent him from returning to the judicial career.
This judge no longer has escape. His plans were blown up in 2016 when a businessman, whom he had investigated, recorded a conversation with his plans. Since then, he has only attempted a forward flight. The Superior Court of Justice of the Canary Islands (TSJC) sentenced him in 2019, he appealed to the Supreme Court, which already fixed his final sentence in November of last year.
Since then, Alba has tried all kinds of legal tricks to avoid the inevitable, going to jail. Among other things, she has gone against the president of the TSJC, Juan Luis Lorenzo Bragado, whom she has challenged to prevent him from executing the sentence handed down by the Supreme Court.
He has also alleged several illnesses that would prevent him from flying to the peninsula, where the penitentiary centers where he could enter, specific for officials, are located. He hasn’t been worth it either. All the forensic reports have proved him wrong.
It has not gone well for him and the court gave him a deadline to enter. Alba’s environment says that this term ends today, although from the court it is considered that it ended on Monday and that is why his search and capture for his entry has been ordered. According to the order, on the 13th the TSJ gave him a period of one day to enter from the notification of the resolution with the warning that, if he did not verify it, voluntarily, the appropriate orders would be issued to the security forces and bodies. of the State so that they provide the necessary assistance for the execution of the sentence, “having informed the lawyer of the Administration of Justice that there is no record of the prisoner’s voluntary admission to prison”.
The Chamber was facing these last hours to decide whether to issue a search and capture order against the former judge. He wanted to wait to see if he would enter voluntarily today and consider his judicial journey settled.
Alba’s case is a clear example of a corrupt judge. As has been proven in various sentences, he maneuvered in his court to harm Rosell. The scene was the following. There was a Minister of Industry, José Manuel Soria, who had filed a complaint against Rosell, who held the title of an Investigating Court in the Canary Islands and who had been listed on the Podemos lists.
During his time as a judge, Rosell had investigated a businessman, Miguel Ángel Ramírez. The magistrate abandoned the judicial career to go into politics and Alba requested to occupy her Court, under an established plan that consisted of entangling the investigation of Ramírez so that Rosell would be splashed. That would come in handy for the Soria lawsuit.
Alba summoned Ramírez to his office and offered to cancel the case for which he was being investigated for tax fraud if he admitted in court that he had paid Rosell’s husband.
And the businessman did it, delivered documentation that was later published in the press. Rosell had to step back from politics in the face of these attacks, but what Alba did not count on is that his plans had been recorded.
