El general del ‘caso Cuarteles’ minimiza su relación con el empresario acusado de amaños al fútbol y al mus

Vázquez Jarava acusa al alto mando de la Guardia Civil que denunció los supuestos amaños de acusarle en falso por animadversión

El general del ‘caso Cuarteles’ minimiza su relación con el empresario acusado de amaños al fútbol y al mus

Despite being once close friends, the former teniente general of the Guardia Civil, Pedro Vázquez Jarava, has downplayed his personal relationship with the businessman, Ángel Ramón Tejera de León, Mon, to a much less intimate level than the police reports and accusations suggest. The primary accused in the "Cuarteles" case, Vázquez Jarava, explained during a nearly three-hour-long statement at the Madrid Provincial Court that their connection was mainly based on their shared interest in football and the Real Madrid club, and occasionally playing card games at restaurants near the Guardia Civil headquarters.

"We liked the same things," he claimed. The prosecutor is seeking a year in prison for each of them for corruption.
