“El Barbas wants to know everything”, the audios to charge Cospedal mention Rajoy up to nine times

The Anti-Corruption Prosecutor asks that Dolores de Cospedal be re-investigated for asking former commissioner Villarejo to make “evidence disappear” from the ‘box B’ of the Popular Party. From the letter it is extracted that the then president Mariano Rajoy also knew of the espionage to the ex-treasurer of the PP, Luis Bárcenas. Up to nine times Mariano Rajoy is mentioned in the audios that the Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office has provided to request that Dolores de Cospedal be re-investigated , former secretary general of the PP, for “disappearing evidence” in the case of espionage on Bárcenas with reserved funds. Diario.es reveals that Anticorrupción provides three new recordings of Commissioner Villarejo with the then number two of the Interior, Francisco Martínez, in which it is implied that both Cospedal and Rajoy were aware of the “para-police operation”. “It is very ugly. that Barbas gets the information for the match”, Villarejo is heard saying in one of those conversations with the number two of the Interior. The ex-commissioner tells him how Bárcenas’ driver is being paid. He affirms that he is in advance of the money but that “María Dolores, who was going to pay me in September what they owe me, they still haven’t paid me.” “On top of that, they don’t pay, they are milk,” Villarejo complains. He asks Martínez to be the one to ask for the money, “I think that to avoid increasing tensions, you should be the only channel of communication.” He explains to him that “it is very ugly that information about the party reaches Barbas, (…)”. In addition, the former commissioner considers that “many things have been misunderstood in this way” and ends up complaining: “She takes advantage and the other also and on top of that they do not pay. They are milk.” In the recording, both Villarejo and Martínez assume that Rajoy He is aware of the espionage on Luis Bárcenas, the former treasurer of the PP. They were trying to guess where Bárcenas kept the information from the PP’s ‘box B’ and from the bonuses to high-ranking officials of that party. Gürtel, Correa and Rajoy In the second of the audios, Villarejo assures that Francisco Correa, convicted leader of the “case Gürtel”, has “a lot of information about El Barbas”. He affirms that “Bárcenas gave him 10.00 euros every month, in crude oil, of course.” Payments between 2003 and 2008, in black money to M. Rajoy worth 163,507 euros, were noted in Bárcenas’s papers. The former commissioner also recounts a visit to the PP headquarters on Génova Street. He assures that they passed him “like when I go to see the ‘seño’ in the back, pissed off and such, with tinted windows. I entered through there, in Genoa.” He says that he met Rajoy who told him: “Know that my friend Javier Iglesias (lawyer) enjoys all the sympathy in the world, among other things, so get to work.” In the conversations, Villarejo refers to Mariano Rajoy as “The Beards” or “The Asturian”. The Prosecutor’s Office reminds the judge in the case, García Castellón, that one of the lines of investigation was to find out if those responsible for the Ministry of the Interior commanded by Fernández Díaz and certain members of the Police acted “encouraged by the leadership of the PP or the then Government of the nation”
