The 'FP case' that implicates Ayuso's Government stumbles upon 30 boxes full of undigitized documents from the Community of Madrid
The judge ordered that all pending documentation since at least June be scanned, given the difficulty in studying that volume in the case investigating the alleged fragmentation of contracts to award works without tendering.
In the ongoing case known as "FP," which scrutinizes the alleged administrative malpractice in public education projects in Madrid between 2021 and 2023, a judge has mandated the digitization of approximately 30 uncatalogued boxes filled with documents. These documents have been languishing in the courts of Plaza de Castilla since at least June due to the difficulty in accessing them.
The judge's decision is aimed at creating a CD with a thematic index to facilitate their review. This ruling highlights the complexity of a case that is drawing attention to the government of Isabel Díaz Ayuso, who is accused of fictitiously splitting contracts and invoices (through smaller contracts) to award lucrative contracts to a select few companies.
The Madrid Community Attorney's Office defended the use of paper instead of digital transmission, citing the impracticality of sending such a massive volume of documents through LexNET.
