THE WARS PÚNICAS WAS THREE

A total of 51 people, among them the former vice-president and deputy of the Community of Madrid Seeded Francisco, they have been detained today in the mark of an operation against a plot of municipal and regional corruption, as they informed the Office Anticorruption and next sources to the investigation. The plot that was infiltrated mainly in several city councils of the Community of Madrid according to the Office, Murcia, León and Valencia, signed public awards for value of 250 million Eurus in exchange for illegal commissions in the last two years. 

"The connivance of the municipal mayors and officials with managers of society’s manufacturers, works and energy services and with middlemen and instrumental societies have been assuring to those the success in the public awards for an approximate value to 250 million Eurus", (Anticorruption said in an official statement). "And I eat compensation, the collection of illegal commissions to coast of the Municipal and Autonomous" Treasury. 

Among the detainees there are six mayors from Madrid, four of them of the PP, one of the PSOE and other independent, of municipalities like Valdemoro, Torrejón of Velasco, Hill Villalba or Parla, besides the president of the Delegation of León, Marcos Martínez, as they informed diverse means. The call "operation Púnica" is directed by the National Audience and in her they it intervenes the Office Anticorruption and the Operative Central Unit (UCO) of the Civil Watch. That that now more it worries it is because this operation has denominated it "Púnica" I say it because if it is necessary to make reference to the possible etymology of the chosen name I want to remember that there were three “Wars Púnicas” that is to say that if it is for eta it indexes we still have left two more cases. 

Another of the big scandals of corruption that they have shaken to the country and that he seems to keep similarities with this, the case Gürtel, the judge has imputed to 45 managers and former politicians, among them those that were maximum responsible for the finances of the ruling Popular Party. The plot Gürtel supposedly paid to officials in exchange for managerial favors. Spain is this way and it adds and it continues.
