A businessman named Angel Ramón Tejera de León, nicknamed Mon, hosted stays in luxury hotels in Cadiz and Lanzarote, and organized excursions to the Canary Island. He accompanied Lieutenant General Pedro Vázquez Jarava and his extended family, sometimes including his mother-in-law, a groom, a nephew, and a grandchild. The pool cover cost was 15,505 euros, charged to the Madrid home, while interior expenses evaluated by the Civil Guard totaled 45,700 euros from an overall 395,000 euros deemed of unknown origin. A residence was purchased on Paseo Marítimo in Cadiz in November 2016 as part of these proceedings.
All of this occurred during the 2016-2017 period, under the leadership of the General Support Sub-Directorate of the Civil Guard. Investigators noted an apparent exponential rise in rewards and tasks assigned to the Canary Island businessman, who acted as a mediator in several cases. In two years alone he issued a hundred invoices totaling 1,739,792 euros for work conducted in barracks across Alicante, as well as in the provinces of Coruña, Albacete, Ávila, Badajoz, Castellón, Valladolid, and other commands.
Eleven performances were recorded in the province of Alicante.
The ongoing inquiry conducted by the Internal Affairs Service, under the Madrid magistrate, has already directed proceedings toward allegations of awards, falsehood, document falsification, and crimes against the Treasury. The investigation establishes a direct link between the intervention of Vázquez Jarava and the awarding of these projects to Mon, described as an operation supported by bypass within the General Support Department linked to the lieutenant general. The investigation notes a credit contract with a specific contractor in some cases outside the established procedures of General Economic Management.
In the process, alongside Tejera de León—who led the Ávila Command when these events occurred—are named Carlos Alonso and a self-employed painter hired by Mon.
Flights and hotels
The first trip occurred between 26-29 May 2016, with a possible Milan visit tied to the Champions League final. Two return tickets on Air Europa were issued for the lieutenant general and the person identified as the winning bidder. Investigators estimate the event delivered about 1,950 euros to the Canary Island businessman, though an accompanying ticket in the son’s name that was later canceled created questions about its intent.
Six months later, the lieutenant general, his wife, Mon, and a companion spent a weekend in Cadiz at La Caleta. The accommodation fee of 506 euros was covered by the Canary Island businessman.
A broader family distribution occurred at the end of 2016, with travel from December 27 to January 3, 2017 to Lanzarote. The lieutenant general, his wife, mother-in-law, daughter, son-in-law, and grandchild traveled. Six Madrid-Cadiz-Lanzarote flights were recorded, totaling 1,328 euros in repayments to Mon, with another 288 euros for the lieutenant general’s son. The Lani’s Suites de Luxe hotel price reached 1,560 euros on a Monday, and details about other relatives’ accommodations were not disclosed.
Vázquez Jarava traveled to Milan with the winning bidder, and both spent a weekend with their partners at a Cádiz hotel. Flight tickets and lodging were provided by a Canarian-descended businessman.
On 21 and 23 May 2017, the lieutenant general and his wife stayed again in Cadiz at La Caleta, with the arrangement described as generous by Tejera de León. The invoice amount was 262 euros.
Shortly after, between 2-5 June 2017, Vázquez Jarava traveled to Cardiff with his nephew and Airbus Helicopters SA’s Director of International Affairs and Communications. The trip likely aligned with the Champions League final, mirroring the Milan episode. Three return tickets totaled 1,410 euros, with payment seemingly handled by Mon.
Pool cover
Beyond travel and hotel charges, a pool cover purchase tied to a Madrid hillside home is noted. The setup was priced at 15,504 euros, including taxes and various transfers totaling 1,650 euros via a debit card from Solocorcho SL, a company associated with Mon, and payments linked to the Orihuela barracks project among others. The funding structure shows the assembly company receiving payment for the work, and the report links Tejera de León to the lieutenant general’s residence at the time.
The report details how pool-guarantee payments were generated: 3,000 euros charged to an unidentifiable card; 3,950 euros deposited in cash into the company account in three installments; 2,500 euros transferred from Vázquez Jarava and his wife; 2,000 euros via the same method; and 2,404 euros by bank transfer, possibly from a relative of the lieutenant general.
House on Paseo Marítimo in Cádiz
A separate entry concerns the purchase of a house along the Cádiz promenade by the former deputy general manager of Support to the Civil Guard in November 2016. The 155-square-meter property carried a cadastral value of 142,398 euros and a sale price of 395,000 euros. The payment description occupies pages in the Internal Services report.
The initial 10,000 euros arrived two months before the sale bill appeared on 11 November 2016, with a substantial balance expected in the buyer’s account. Transfers totaling 5,000 and 2,000 euros came from two companies—one run by Vázquez Jarava’s wife and the other by the couple—fraud analysis notes as subject to the sale of movable and immovable properties.
On 8 November, a sequence of bank transactions shows 6,000 and 8,000 euros deposited into the seller’s account, plus 6,049 euros noted as the balance in the account described as “we need to add.” Ten thousand euros were deposited in cash the day before, followed by installment deposits of 2,000, 3,000, 2,000, and 3,000 euros.
The same day, a new 10,000 euro transfer appeared. An amount from Vázquez Jarava’s account, 10,000 euros, was credited in three installments, echoing the earlier pattern.

Regarding cash deposits into the lieutenant general’s account, investigators found that the winning bidder had been located on a Friday, just before the imposition of formal restrictions. Mon retired from his post in Madrid around the same period, and his name appeared in relation to the accounts opened for Jarava. A sum of 15,000 euros in cash appeared in two installments of 7,500 euros, originating from Angrasurcor and Solocorcho, where the businessman is the manager, who maintained influence over the award process.
On November 11, the day the sales contract was signed, 358,200 euros moved through three checks, with reviews showing the funds came from a mortgage loan (316,000 euros) and 42,200 euros from three cash deposits of 5,000 euros each, all linked to Vázquez Jarava and a spousal account used similarly to a loan setup arranged by a bank manager connected to the Civil Guard contractor. The same day, 2,800 euros in cash was delivered.
The financial arrangements for the Cádiz house did not end there. On November 24, a debit for 43,249 euros appeared in the lieutenant general’s account, likely for taxes due on the purchase. To cover this, a 10,000-euro transfer was made from one of the couple’s company accounts, and a cash deposit of 9,700 euros recorded by Vázquez Jarava.
The cash inflows, as described in the November 11 report, show that Mon withdrew 10,000 euros in cash and later spent that weekend with Jarava and his wife at Cadiz La Caleta, with lodging covered by the employer. On the 14th, the lieutenant colonel deposited 9,700 euros, while 43,249 euros for taxes and duties and other monetary items were used to settle debts.
The observations conclude with 45,700 euros earned in top-ups used to fund the lieutenant general’s house, a sum linked to the origin of funds that remains unclear.
