The Association of Cryptocurrency Users Asked Again the accusation of Alvise Pérez for the alleged fraud committed by the financial chiringuito Madeira Investment Club (MIC).
The organization was one of two to file massive complaints on behalf of dozens of investors who entrusted their money to MIC, after the company suspended expected payments and surprisingly shut down its website. The owner of Madeira Invest Club is Alvaro Romilloknown as CryptoSpainand it is against him that this complaint and others are directed.
As Romillo himself stated before the prosecution, paid 100,000 euros in cash to Alvise Pérez to finance his campaign for the European elections, in which he won three seats in Brussels.
Dozens of conversations between the two, in the hands of the public prosecutor and in the possession of this newspaper, confirm this. They show that, before and after becoming an MEP, Pérez promised his financier that would engage in “massive lobbying” and influence in favor of their companies.
This is why the Association of Cryptocurrency Users insists on asking Luis Pérez – his real name, Alvise, is nothing more than a pseudonym – will be investigated in this legal case.
NOW, As an MEP he is qualified before the Supreme Court. Only the High Court could summon him to testify. It is for this reason that the Association of Cryptocurrency Users, attached to the Aránguez Abogados law firm, proposes that this entire legal matter be left in the hands of the highest judicial body in Spain. Currently, the case is being processed before the National Court. More precisely, at the Central Investigating Court number 4.
This is the second time that this prosecution has asked the investigating judge to include Alvise Pérez as an investigator. Magistrate José Luis Calama initially rejected it. However, the Aránguez Abogados cabinet appealed this decision and Calama could now retract or, on the contrary, maintain its criteria.
If the latter situation occurs, it will be the authority hierarchically superior to the Court, the Criminal Chamber of the National Court, which will have the last word.
However, between one request and another, a relevant event occurred to unravel the alleged fraud of which the plaintiffs accuse Romillo. After learning about the discussions between the two men, Alvise confirmed that he had collected 100,000 euros in cash from the businessman. But he attributed them to his “fees” for certain so-called “billed without invoice services”.
Alvise admits in a video on his social networks the collection of 100,000 euros.
The letter sent to Judge Calama by the Cryptocurrency Users Association mentions this fact. And remember that, already in 2023, the National Securities Market Commission (CNMV) had warned against the Madeira Invest Club, calling it a “financial beach bar”. Despite this, in April 2024, Alvise participated in an MIC promotion event at the La Zarzuela racetrack (Madrid).
“It is also clearly incriminating that Mr. Luis Pérez was aware of the warning from the CNMV in which it was emphasized that this company was not authorized to carry out the activity it was carrying out and, despite this, he l “promoted and did not object to receiving money from its CEO,” says lawyer Carlos Aránguez.
“It is proven that The relationship between the leader of the criminal conspiracy, Mr. Álvaro Romillo, and Mr. Luis Pérez goes beyond a simple promotion on social networks.“, benefiting from each other, from their respective activities, generating greater diffusion of the organization among citizens and sharing both digital wallets and money transfers of unknown origin,” the plaintiffs state. They therefore ask Judge Calama to recuse himself. Supreme Court.
