A court in Madrid has referred a public order case against MEP and leader of Se Acabó La Fiesta, Luis ‘Alvise’ Pérez, to the Supreme Court. The investigation, as reported this morning by the ABC newspaper, revolves around his role in the massive demonstrations last year in Ferraz Street, headquarters of the PSOE, of which he was the leader.
Alvise was not an MEP nor had he announced his intention to run in these elections when in November 2023 he made his Telegram channel one of the main centers for broadcasting calls for protests in Ferraz Street. During one of these days he even went personally with Daniel Esteve, leader of Desokupa, and led thousands of people to cross Madrid from that area to the surroundings of the Congress of Deputies, where he urged people to sit with their backs to the camera. He goes downstairs before announcing that he was going home for dinner, shortly before the accusations against Ferraz began.
In recent weeks, the Supreme Court has received several open cases against Alvise that must be processed due to his capacity. For example, the accusations of slander of a Leonese PSOE deputy for linking him to the Mediator affair, or the request of a Seville judge to be investigated for threats. The Chamber is also waiting to take charge of the investigation opened against him for harassment of one of Pedro Sánchez’s daughters and another for dissemination of a false PCR test of the minister at the time, Salvador Illa.
At the same time, the National Court is investigating whether he illegally financed his candidacy for the European elections with the 100,000 euros that he, as revealed by elDiario.es, collected in cash from a businessman cryptocurrency. The MEP bonded with Álvaro Romillo, known as “CryptoSpain” and leader of the bankrupt Madeira Invest Club, to the point of participating in a massive event for his company. A few days before starting his campaign for the European elections, as he himself admitted, he went to the headquarters of the Romillo company to collect the money.
The Supreme Court is currently studying these cases and has not formally opened criminal proceedings in any of them. The MEP has also been convicted several times in civil court for defamation of politicians and journalists, such as Ana Pastor and Manuela Carmena.
