The Junta de Andalucía’s former councillor for employment, Antonio Fernández, has been told by Instruction Court No. 6 in Sevilla that he is to be called as a suspect in the ERE early retirement scandal which is under investigation in Andalucía.
He has been told to get himself a lawyer, as he will be called for questioning by the court in the near future.
El País reported on Monday that the judge sees evidence of possible misuse of funds, perversion of the course of justice and influence peddling in the procedure for the ERE claims, where beneficiaries have been detected who never worked for the companies in question.
Fernández was councillor for employment between 2004 and 2010 and said on Monday that he is not worried by the news from the court.
‘I did not know of, authorise or approve any of the questions which are now coming to light’, he told the EFE news agency. He says his management of the department in the years while he was there was completely ‘transparent’.
