Prosecutors seeking a 4-year imprisonment for Ayuso's spouse on allegations of tax evasion
Alberto González Amador, partner of Spanish regional leader Isabel Díaz Ayuso, is currently under investigation for alleged tax fraud amounting to approximately 350,951 euros and document falsification related to his business activities, particularly in the health sector where his company's earnings surged during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The case, overseen by Judge Inmaculada Iglesias, began with complaints arising from González Amador himself about leaks of confidential information. The investigation has since expanded, with further evidence and testimonies being gathered.
González Amador's legal team proposed a plea deal in which he would admit to tax fraud to avoid a criminal trial and prison time. However, this proposal did not prevent the judicial process from moving forward. The State Prosecutor's Office has requested three years and nine months in prison for González Amador, partner of Díaz Ayuso.
The investigation has also implicated others. For example, the judge charged the wife of the president of Quirón Prevención, a health company linked to González Amador, for an alleged irregular sale of the company Círculo de Belleza in 2020 for 500,000 euros.
The legal scrutiny intensified when Spain's top prosecutor, Alvaro Garcia Ortiz, was accused of breaching judicial secrecy by leaking confidential case files about González Amador. This leak allegedly aimed to politically undermine Díaz Ayuso, a major figure on the Spanish right, and caused significant controversy. The Supreme Court confirmed the charges against Ortiz in 2025 after evidence suggested the leak was coordinated by him personally.
The investigation continues, with the Provincial Court of Madrid authorising the investigation of other criminal offenses separate from those already being investigated in the main case. As of now, the case is still in the intermediate phase of the procedure.
González Amador has documented the income obtained from Quirón Prevención and denied its concealment through a supposed instrumental society to avoid taxation to the Treasury. However, the investigation focuses on the criminal evidence regarding facts related to the Corporate Tax corresponding to the years 2020 and 2021.
A fine of €448,000 is also requested for González Amador. For the crime relating to the year 2020, the State Prosecutor's Office has requested a sentence of 1 year and 9 months in prison, with special disqualification for the exercise of the right to passive suffrage for the duration of the sentence, and a fine of €155,000. For the crime relating to the year 2021, they have requested two years and one day in prison, with the same disqualifications and a fine of 150% of the defrauded quota.
The investigation began following a complaint filed by the Public Prosecutor's Office and has led to internal probes within the prosecutor’s office, eventually resulting in the dismissal of some prosecutors but Ortiz being held responsible and facing trial. The report did not specify if González Amador is directly linked to the entity Maxwell Cremona Ingeniería y Procesos Sociedad para el Fomento del Medioambiente.
On February 24, Ayuso's partner refused to testify before the magistrate. The detected "fictitious expenses" were not for services actually provided, with the aim of reducing the tax to be paid for the Corporate Tax of the Exercises 2020 and 2021. The report speaks of two crimes against Public Finance, resulting in "a tax fraud quantified by the Tax Inspection in an amount greater than €120,000 and a presumed crime of falsifying a commercial document."
This ongoing investigation offers a complex portrait of business dealings during the COVID-19 pandemic and the politically charged leaks of confidential information that have shaken the Spanish political landscape.
What is the current status of the judicial process against Alberto González Amador, partner of Spanish regional leader Isabel Díaz Ayuso, under investigation for tax fraud and document falsification? This case, beyond tax-related offenses, has also implicated others in policy-and-legislation, including Spain's top prosecutor Alvaro Garcia Ortiz, who breached judicial secrecy, and the president's wife of Quirón Prevención, a health company linked to González Amador, involving crime-and-justice matters and general-news.
