PSPV-PSOE has filed a complaint with the prosecutor's office of the High Court of Justice of the Valencian Community against regional president Juan Francisco Pérez Llorca over Finestrat council's hiring of David Serra's law firm during Pérez Llorca's time as mayor. The newsworthy development is the filing of the complaint, not a judicial conclusion on the allegations.
According to elDiario.es, the complaint alleges prevarication, fraud against the administration and bribery. José Muñoz, the Socialist spokesperson in the Valencian parliament, says its focus is the municipal contract with Serra's firm. Serra is a former PP deputy convicted in the Gürtel case.
The filing creates a serious political challenge for Pérez Llorca because it takes a contract from his municipal record to the prosecutor's office. That significance also requires care: the supplied report does not say that prosecutors have accepted the complaint, opened proceedings or taken any measure. It does not include the full complaint or the contract documents needed to assess its basis.
PSPV has also called on PP leader Alberto Núñez Feijóo to examine the material and act. That is a political demand, as are Socialist leaders' assessments of Pérez Llorca; it cannot replace a prosecutorial assessment.
The public-interest question is nevertheless straightforward. A council contract should be explainable through records and reviewable criteria, especially when it concerns the current head of the Valencian government. Prosecutors must first decide what course to give the complaint. Treating Pérez Llorca as criminally responsible before then would go beyond the published facts.
