Alberto González Amador agreed to pay thousands of euros to two companies created by his boss in Quirón, Fernando Camino, as soon as he created his health consultancy, Maxwell Cremona. The contracts and invoices appear in the documentation sent to the Madrid judge who is investigating Isabel Díaz Ayuso’s partner for two tax offenses and another for falsification of documents that the commission agent admitted in a document with which he intended to get involved. agreement on an eight-month sentence. .of prison which did not involve his entry into prison.
These payments date back a long time, as confirmed by a contract signed by Maxwell Cremona on March 1, 2017, a month and a half after the start of its operations, with the company Inversiones Random SL, created in May 2005 by Fernando Camino. This manager from Quirón is still today the administrator of this company, domiciled in the old town of Seville and dedicated to boat rental. For its part, the Maxwell company began its activities on January 16, 2017, according to the commercial register.
In this contract, the director of the health giant did not appear, but the other administrator of Inversiones Random, Jesús González, as “owner”. The document notes that Maxwell Cremona considers it “interesting to develop management training activities to have an impact on its current and potential clients” and that Random “owns a Jeanneau 52.2 sailboat”. This yacht, approximately 15 meters long and capable of accommodating up to five cabins, can be found on the second-hand market in its older versions for between 170,000 euros and 185,000 euros, according to the specialist site Boats.com.
It was agreed that in exchange for paying 2,000 euros per year to Inversiones Random, Maxwell “will place advertising of its brand on the ship Adagio II, for the duration of the contract, permanently on the ship and assuming the cost of placement and its preparation. This would be done through vinyl lettering on the exterior and a flag on the mainmast “while the sailboat is moored” in the harbor. The sponsor could use the boat “for the exhibition of its advertising as well as to carry out cruises on the days agreed with its guests, always respecting the safety rules”.
Court filings do not allow us to say how much Maxwell Cremona paid for this contract. There are at least three invoices for a total of 6,000 euros (plus VAT) issued in 2019 (January and July) and in May 2020, already in the middle of the pandemic, under the concept “rental of the ADAGIO II boat for advertising sponsorship”. “.
Quirón sources assure that Inversiones Random “has had different rental and sponsorship/advertising contracts” with the companies GAM, Inmohuelva, Idamar, Cenáutica, Paradores, Millenium Seguros and Puerto Isla Canela. Concerning a possible violation of its ethical code by Fernando Camino, the health group makes no comment.
It is likely that Maxwell’s payments to Inversiones Random were higher, since the contract dates back to 2017 and the tax investigation into González Amador covered the years 2020 and 2021. Inversiones Random SL declared zero euros in turnover between 2021 and 2023. This indicates that payments stopped after the opening of Ayuso’s partner inspection. In 2020, he declared 2,000 euros in turnover, as much as he invoiced the company of commission agent González Amador. A year earlier, he had billed 4,840 euros, according to his accounts.
These payments are not González Amador’s only compensation to the companies created by the head of his main and almost only client, Quirón Prevention. In 2019, he also used the services of Círculo Belleza SL, a beauty care company with virtually no activity in the name of Camino’s wife and for which González Amador would end up paying half a million euros at the end of 2020. The businessman bought it after pocketing 2 million commissions for having negotiated the worst of the pandemic in the sale of masks for a Galician company (Mape) of which the leader of Quirón is a director.
More than a year before this great success, on January 1, 2019, Maxwell Cremona and Círculo Belleza SL signed a contract by which, while carrying out audits of Quirón hospitals, González Amador’s company will receive “advisory” services by Círculo Belleza on “research and analysis of market developments”; training plans, “business management systems, including short and long term planning, strategic plans and tactical action programs” or “decision making of a managerial and strategic nature”.
According to the contract, González Amador’s company needed “essential” services which, without Círculo Belleza SL, “would be obliged to hire external consultants, with a lesser degree of sectoral specialization and knowledge of group procedures.” The agreement had an initial validity of one year. He did not specify figures. Círculo Belleza would charge “an amount that will be agreed based on the projects requested”.
There are at least four invoices that Maxwell pays to Círculo Belleza for the same concept, “Consulting and advisory work to managers on health issues”. The first, for 2,000 euros (plus VAT), was issued a few days after this agreement, on January 16, 2019. The second, on July 1, 2019, for 2,000 euros, the day before Maxwell paid the same amount to Inversiones Random for this agreement. advertising on his sailboat. On December 19, 2019, Círculo Belleza invoiced Maxwell for an additional 1,000 euros. And on October 8, 2020, the biggest bill arrived, 15,000 euros. In total, 20,000 euros excluding VAT.
Figures in any case much lower than the 499,836.92 euros that Ayuso’s partner paid on December 4, 2020 for the Círculo Belleza. The explanation he gave to the taxman for such a high price for a company with no assets, no staff and little turnover was that it was a “gamble”; “He was the one who liaised with pharmacies to implement Covid Seguro.”
“In addition, this company has a contract with Mape. This amount was paid for the agreements that Círculo Belleza SL had with these companies, given that at the time they were very attractive,” assured González Amador in November 2022, when questioned by the inspection.
‘Lots of help’
A few weeks earlier, the businessman assured the tax authorities that “the person in charge of the company (partner and director) is a pharmacist who knows the sector of hospital pharmacy, private electronic prescription and pharmaceutical distribution very well “.
He said he had advised them on a study “relating to medication errors and recurring failures in the hospital pharmaceutical supply system” and “on the healthcare distribution market, since Maxwell Cremona has clients like MAPE or Quirón for whom this has been very useful for them.
A few weeks ago, Mape founder Gumersindo Cachafeiro told this newspaper: “We do not have and have had no relationship with Ayuso’s boyfriend.” The executive confirmed that part of the masks invoiced by González Amador had been purchased by the Xunta de Galicia, then chaired by Alberto Núñez Feijóo.
After acquiring Circulo Belleza, González Amador changed its name and, according to the tax authorities, used it as a screen to artificially reduce the taxes he had to pay for the new orders he received from Quirón for construction works. consulting in Latin America. The money billed by the Ayuso couple’s companies to the health group increased fourfold after the start of their relationship with the Madrid president.
Added to these relationships is the company that Fernando Camino created in the tax haven of Panama and that González Amador managed until 2022, in full fraud against the Treasury. Quirón assured that this company has no connection with the health giant. One of its subsidiaries was vetoed by the Panamanian administration for corrupt practices in 2021.
Quirón Salud has an anti-corruption policy for its employees which says: “All professionals must avoid situations that could generate a conflict of interest, which is why we cannot personally receive money, nor any other type of payment. assets or financial or in-kind counterpart. . from patients, customers, suppliers, intermediaries or any other third party, even in the form of a loan, unless said transaction is carried out within the framework of a transparent and legal commercial relationship carried out at market prices.
This type of remuneration “may not be made directly or through associates, collaborators, representatives, family members, intermediaries, agents, advisors or any other type of intermediate “.
Círculo Belleza was domiciled in a pharmacy owned by Camino’s wife in Pola de Gordón (León). Its sole director, Gloria Carrasco, initially held 60% of the shares, and Camino and his brother-in-law each held 20%. In 2020, shortly before selling it, the pharmaceutical company became its sole partner.
The masked bombshell increased Maxwell’s income sevenfold and with it began González Amador’s tax fraud with a conspiracy of false invoices and shell companies. The investigating judge in the criminal case summoned the businessman on November 29 to agree on a sentence for the tax offenses that the commission agent admitted in exchange for payment of half a million and one symbolic prison sentence.
According to the Treasury report sent to the prosecutor’s office, the “commercial relationship” between González Amador and Círculo Belleza “dates back at least to 2014”, when the company created by Camino “only declared sales revenue to Mape” and “payments purchases, among others, at Massias Khune SL”, predecessor of Maxwell Cremona. She then became an advisor to Chiron’s consultant.
The relationship between González Amador and Camino extends to the luxurious penthouse enjoyed by the Madrid president and her partner. They both live in an apartment in Chamberí that the businessman bought after the mask scandal. And they benefit from a second floor in the same building, which they use to receive visits, dinners and other meetings and for which Díaz Ayuso has never given any explanation. The penthouse was purchased in July 2023 by Babia Capital SL, of which it appears as owner Jorge Carlos Pablos Alonso, hotel businessman from León, the town in which Camino and Carrasco reside.
This company, which benefited from a loan of 955,000 euros from an unidentified third party The purchase of the property is being handled by Javier Luis Gómez Fidalgo, the attorney who represented González Amador in the tax investigation. This lawyer also has Camino as a client. Its office is in León. In Ponferrada is Maxwell Cremona’s accountant, Blanca López.
