Madrid Judge Orders Trial for Regional Leader's Partner in Tax Fraud Case

23-09-2025


A Madrid judge has ordered the opening of an oral trial against Alberto González Amador, the partner of Madrid Regional President Isabel Díaz Ayuso, for allegedly defrauding Spain's tax authority of €350,951. The court has formally brought charges against the businessman for crimes against the public treasury, falsification of commercial documents, continuous accounting offenses, and membership in a criminal organization.

The judicial decision, dated this Monday, follows an investigation that alleges González Amador utilized a network of false invoices to evade tax obligations. The case now moves to the trial phase where evidence will be presented and examined in court. The charges represent serious financial crimes that carry potential significant penalties under Spanish law.

Legal experts have expressed differing views on the likelihood of a pre-trial settlement. While some suggest González Amador might negotiate an agreement with prosecutors before the trial begins, others point to strained relations with the public prosecutor's office. The tensions stem from a separate complaint filed by González Amador's lawyer regarding alleged disclosure of confidential information, complicating potential settlement discussions.

The conservative Popular Party (PP), led by Alberto Núñez Feijóo, has responded to the judicial development by stating they "respect any judicial action unlike what other parties do." Party sources emphasized that González Amador is "a private citizen and not a public official," drawing a distinction between the legal proceedings against him and the political position held by his partner, President Ayuso. The case has drawn public attention given the high-profile nature of the individuals involved.
