Joseba Garcia Izaguirrebrother of Koldo indicted at the National Court, presented himself to the judge a report on your income in which he refutes the report of the Central Operational Unit (UCO) of the Civil Guard in which he concluded that The increase in Joseba’s assets is due to a joint action by the family to hide their assets. His defense alleges that the agents presented a story full of errors far from reality and Koldo’s brother, who had no intention of hiding his assets. “This conclusion was reached by carrying out a arbitrary and selective interpretation of asset movements carried out by Joseba García”, states his defense in the report to which OKDIARIO had access for the first time.
The García Izaguirre family refuted before the judge the reports on their assets that the UCO presented last spring to the National Court. Koldo was the first to present the report in which he said he had increased his income by 98,000, i.e. a third of the amount contributed by the agents. Now, his brother Joseba also clarifies that his increase in assets is due to his salary. legitimately obtained through his work, workers’ compensation, divorce from his ex-wife, and transactions in the purchase and sale of real estate. “It is an asset declared to the tax authorities”defends his lawyer.
Koldo’s brother thus presents a 13-page report in which he details the volume of his income. First of all, it stops at the elements obtained thanks to your salary which, itAs we can see in the tax returns for the years 2019 to 2022, in addition to obtaining remuneration of more than 50,000 euros per yearthe perception of a disability pension of just over 20,000 euros. Added to this is the fact that in 2020 he received a compensation.
His defense explains that Koldo’s brother had a strong savings capacity which allowed him to carry out real estate transactions. To complete them, he requested mortgage loans from buy a house in La Rioja and another in Polop (Valencia). The report highlights that this last house It was acquired thanks to the corresponding mortgage formalized on the same day as the acquisition of the property, December 18, 2020. The purchase price was 225,000 euros and his defense claims to have signed a loan with a bank for an amount of 191,250 euros. which continues to be paid today. “It is therefore not true that a capital increase of 225,000 euros was obtained, given that the mortgage was established at 85% of the price of the property. This means that the real increase in assets is only 33,750 euros», They explain.
Investigators also stopped at a third residence located in Benidormtown where Koldo’s brother resides. “Joseba García’s ex-wife bought what was the family home from him for the sum of 112,000 euros reinvested sponsored by me in the purchase of his new habitual residence […] This house also benefits from its corresponding mortgage loan of 115,000 euros, or 82% of the purchase price, which amounts to 140,000 euros. Thus, the assumed increase in assets that is attributed only amounts to 25,000 euros», Explains his lawyer.
Koldo’s brother’s vehicles
The UCO is also interested in vehicles purchased by Koldo’s brother, whose purchase is disputed in the report. “Sand comes to the absolutely false conclusion that my client and his entourage are owners of a type of vehicle fleet which ranges from a market value of 920 euros to 63,186 euros. It is, at least, inaccurate“, given that the average value of the first 10 vehicles could not be found in the aforementioned ministerial decree, therefore they cannot be taken into account for any type of price comparison”, explains his defense. And he continues: “On the other hand, it must be taken into account that the majority of vehicles obtained, even after 2020, are used, and also with several years of registration.
The exception is the motorcycle harley-davidsonthe purchase of which was obtained through the sale of previous vehicles. Civil Guard investigators point out that in addition to the motorcycle, also purchased a Renault Passat in November 2021, and a Mercedes in July 2020. In the case of the Passat, this vehicle It belonged to Víctor de Aldamaanother of the people investigated as part of the plot and identified by UCO agents as the “corruptive link” of the alleged organization. This car was a used vehicle, over fifteen years old, that ended up being sold due to mechanical issues.
