Alberto González Amador, partner of Isabel Díaz Ayuso, is selling the Chamberí apartment they shared. The property was purchased after the alleged tax fraud for which Amador faces trial. The sale follows recent controversy over official real estate deals.
The Chamberí apartment where Alberto González Amador and Isabel Díaz Ayuso have lived since 2023 has been put up for sale for €1,790,000. The move comes as Amador, a businessman and Ayuso’s partner, awaits trial for alleged tax fraud. According to Elplural and confirmed by a close source to the Madrid president, the property is now listed through the Gilmar real estate agency on Idealista.
The sixth-floor flat, acquired after the period in which the alleged fiscal offenses occurred, is not the only property linked to Amador in the area. At the end of last year, he also purchased the penthouse directly above. The timing of the sale has drawn attention, especially after the Madrid regional government, led by Ayuso, bought a luxury penthouse in another part of Chamberí earlier this year. That property was intended as a temporary office for the president during renovations at the official headquarters.
The government’s purchase of the penthouse sparked public debate over the use of public funds, as previously reported in coverage of similar real estate controversies, such as the debate surrounding the Madrid government’s acquisition of a luxury penthouse for office use. Following the backlash, Ayuso’s team announced that the government-owned penthouse would be put back on the market, distancing the administration from any personal residential use.
Sources close to Ayuso emphasize that she was not informed about Amador’s private real estate transaction and stress that it is unrelated to the government’s property dealings. They maintain that the administration’s search was strictly for an office, not a residence, and that the timeline for vacating the Real Casa de Correos headquarters does not coincide with Amador’s sale.
Chamberí remains one of Madrid’s most exclusive districts, known for its high property values and demand among affluent buyers. The intersection of private and public real estate activity in the area has fueled ongoing scrutiny, particularly when legal proceedings or public funds are involved. In Spain, property transactions linked to political figures often attract significant attention, especially when legal or ethical questions arise. The outcome of Amador’s upcoming trial may further impact public perception of both the sale and the broader context of real estate dealings connected to political circles.
