Corruption Scandal Engulfs Madrid Leader's Partner

Published: 2025-01-15

The Madrid Prosecutor's Office has intensified its investigation into Alberto González Amador, the partner of Isabel Díaz Ayuso, President of the Madrid region.

González is accused of tax fraud, document falsification, and now, potential corruption in business dealings.

The case centers on a suspicious €500,000 payment to the wife of a corporate executive, linked to a shell company with no assets or employees.

Prosecutors argue this payment could constitute a bribe, undermining fair market practices.

Ayuso has defended González, calling him a victim of political persecution.

However, the investigation continues, with prosecutors citing strong evidence of wrongdoing.

This case has sparked significant political and public scrutiny.
