A scandal is unfolding in the Spanish capital over tax fraud allegations involving Alberto González Amador, who is in a relationship with a well-known political figure. The case drew public attention after a tax inspector began an audit in the spring of 2022. Her work resulted in a detailed report, which formed the basis for charges of fraud and the use of fake invoices.
For nearly two years, the inspector meticulously reviewed the tax declarations of two medical consulting firms owned by Amador. The audit covered the reporting periods of 2020 and 2021. Following the review, it was found that unpaid taxes exceeded 350,000 euros, with the scheme based on deliberate data manipulation using forged documents.
The report, nearly two hundred pages long, details fifteen invoices deemed to be fictitious. These were issued by four different entrepreneurs, totaling a face value of 1.7 million euros. The documents enabled a significant reduction of the taxable base and minimized payments to the treasury. The inspector noted that some of the companies mentioned in the scheme had no employees, no real offices, and their legal addresses matched private residences.
Particular suspicion was raised by transactions with the company Maxwell Cremona: in 2020, its revenues sharply increased to 2.3 million euros, while tax payments, on the contrary, decreased. In addition, large transfers to accounts were detected, followed by quick cash withdrawals—a typical practice used to cover up traces of illegal operations.
Invoices issued by a Mexican citizen and a company from Côte d’Ivoire also came under scrutiny. It was revealed that these documents either did not confirm any actual transactions or were presented as preliminary invoices, without being backed by any real activity, despite formal negotiations and meetings.
In March 2024, the inspector gave detailed testimony in a Madrid court, where the investigation has been ongoing for a year. Shortly after, the judge charged Amador with two counts of tax fraud and one count of forging commercial documents. The prosecution is seeking nearly four years of imprisonment, but the defense is attempting to appeal this decision in a higher court.
During the hearings, the inspector confirmed that the case involves two crimes against the tax system, committed using fake invoices to reduce mandatory payments in 2020 and 2021. The case continues to gain momentum, and public interest remains high, as key figures in the proceedings are linked to the highest levels of regional power.
