The UDEF confirms Pescanova lied with fictitious invoices
(SPAIN, 2/27/2015)
The Police Economic and Tax Crime Central Unit (UDEF in Spanish) confirmed again that the former management of Pescanova produced fictitious invoices for business or stock certificates (inventories) adulterated to achieve bank financing in a fraudulent way.
"Of all the bills analyzed and contained in different factoring processes – a financing system in which the payment of services rendered to a third party was anticipated – none of them corresponds" to those declared to the tax agency says the report submitted by the UDEF at the request of Judge Pablo Ruz.
"This correspondence does not conclude that these listings of invoices sent to banks are entirely fictional, not corresponding to any business or actual sale by Pescanova to its customers," says the UDEF, which estimates in at least EUR 81 million the fraudulent amount available obtained from banks, La Voz de Galicia reported.
To determine the amount of money earned by Pescanova with this illegal system of bank financing, the judge asked the financial institutions that, within five days, they must communicate in detail all factoring processes signed with the fishing company.
He also requested the emails related to those transactions sent by Pescanova, and to identify the "partners" that sign those agreements with the Galician multinational.
The order, issued yesterday, is addressed to Bancantabria, Caixa Catalunya (now in the hands of BBVA), Novacaixagalicia (Abanca) Finanmadrid, HSBC, Targobank, Banco Popular, Banco Sabadell, and BBVA, to which he also request a copy of the contracts with Pescanova.
