A secure messaging app, a request for up to 360,000 euros and a proposal to lobby the European Parliament. These are just some of the problems that Álvaro Romillo, known on social networks as “CryptoSpain”, describes in the complaint he filed last Thursday with the State Attorney General against the leader of Se Acabó la Fiesta and now MEP, Alvise Pérez. laSexta has accessed it, while being able to confirm that The Supreme Court’s prosecution will investigate this matter..
It is April 6, 2024. There are three months left until the European elections. The far-right agitator attends an event at the Zarzuela Hippodrome organized by what appears to be an investment club. Next to him, its owner, Álvaro Romillo. There, Alvise intervenes in the act as if it were a campaign rally. This is when a relationship between the two begins. This is what Romillo details in the document he presented to the State Attorney General’s Office, where he also recounts how he ended up paying 100,000 euros in cash to the current MEP.
Three days after the aforementioned event, Romillo receives a message from Alvise in which he tells him that the first thing he needs is “funds which do not require control by the Court of Auditors.” Money that would be used to finance rallies and party advertising, but which the law on the financing of political parties does not allow.
This rule establishes that a single person cannot contribute more than 50,000 euros per year to a party, and any donation exceeding 25,000 euros must be notified to the Court of Auditors. Criteria that conflict with the needs that Alvise said he had: “We calculated that we would need between 300,000 and 360,000.”he assured Romillo. Amounts that would be spent on the campaign, but also to cover unpaid fines. Alvise wanted to hide his money. Indeed, ask Romillo to contact you via a secure messaging app, such as Signal, Thremaa or Sesion.
May 25th arrives. There were 15 days left before the European elections. The leader of Se Acabó la Fiesta asks Romillo to create a cryptocurrency wallet -known as wallets or “portfolios”- where their subscribers could send you donations. Immediately, the “squirrels” received all the information necessary to make the payments.
The donations have arrived, but when ‘CryptoSpain’ informs him of the amount collected – “a little over 7,000 euros” – it seems insufficient to Alvise: “That’s good! But it’s going too slowly. Time is eating away at my campaign payments.”he admitted to Romillo. Just a day later, a new message with an amount and a location: “I revised and if all goes well tomorrow you can go to the Sentinel for 100,000,” Romillo wrote to Alvise. Now, more convinced, he replied: “100%.”
This is how this delivery is forged, which takes place on May 27 when Alvise goes to these offices that promise total confidentiality and takes the 100,000 euros in his pocket. An aid that nevertheless strengthens the relationship between Romillo and Alvise. In fact, on June 24, they agree to meet in Ibiza to, with two “influencers”, give visibility to businesses.
But this meeting also had another goal. It was to connect to ‘CryptoSpain’ with “lobbies” in Europe when he became a member of the European Parliament. Alvise even tells him that the need for these funds corresponds to the objective of “growing the party, preparing to achieve the goal of obtaining five seats in 2026 to be able to be the key to the government and, in this way, influence legislation.” issues of financial and civil freedom,” reads the complaint to which LaSexta had access.
