The Seville court investigates the current manager of the SAS for emergency contracts that the Andalusian Health Service managed during the pandemic. The magistrate takes this measure after the request of the anti-corruption prosecutor’s office and the Andalusian PSOE, appearing as an accusation.
The manager of the SAS is Valle García. Alongside him, the two former leaders are under investigation, Diego Vargas and Miguel Angel Guzmanwho have already been dismissed from their positions by the Andalusian government.
The judge wants to determine whether there is a case of prevarication in the case of emergency contracts worth almost 300 million euros that the SAS succeeded in confronting the Covi-19 pandemic.
According to what EL ESPAÑOL published last week, the decision to use this form of contract was supported by the Council’s legal services. Up to two legal reports have highlighted the relevance of this form of express contract amid the global coronavirus pandemic.
The judge, according to the Ser channel, summoned the three indicted to inform them of their condition and, in addition, inform them of their rights regarding the present case.
The offense that the judge is investigating is precisely administrative prevarication. For the PSOE, which brought this matter to courtthere are more and believes that they should also be charged with the offense of embezzlement of public funds.
