Alvise Pérez finally will not make a statement before the judge who is investigating the allegations illegal financing of his party, Se Acabó La Fiesta (SALF), for having received 100,000 euros from a cryptocurrency entrepreneur Álvaro Romillo, better known as ‘CryptoSpain‘. The far-right MEP thus breaks his word, since his lawyer had previously announced his intention to testify.
In a November 22 order, National Court Judge José Luis Calama offered the far-right agitator the possibility of declare voluntarilyafter his lawyer verbally informed him during Romillo’s statement that I intended to do itand asked the lawyer to record his availability to make this statement.
Alvise’s lawyer, however, informed the judge that his client ultimately he will not make a statementalthough, as he admits in his writings, He already told you he wanted to do it “in the coming days.” “Finally, it was decided that Mr. Pérez Fernández would not participate in such a statement,” the letter said. Alvise has the option of not testifying before the judge because filed before the Supreme Court for his status as a Member of the European Parliament.
Open war with “CryptoSpain”
Meanwhile, the war with “CryptoSpain”, the man who financed his campaign, continues to intensify. In recent hours he called it publicly “corrupted balance” through social networks. “I know because I paid you”he claims, in a video in which he also describes him as “cheap, stupid and a liar”. “I gave you the money and you told me that you were going to use it to finance your party and pay for your campaigns,” he says in the video broadcast this Monday, in which he adds: “For 100 000 ‘turkeys’, I applauded you.”
Last week, Romillo told the judge that gave 100,000 euros in cash to the agitator extreme right in exchange for “future favors” and benefit from its influence on the social network Telegram. Alvise was summoned to voluntarily testify during this appearance, but he did not appear, according to his lawyer, because he was working in Brussels as an MEP. However, he then assured that his client did indeed wish to testify and that he would look for dates to be able to do so. But ultimately, that won’t be the case.
