The defense of the current president of Hércules, Carlos Parodi, presented a brief in court. Try to prove the innocence of the leader in blue and whiteHe denies that he has been subjected to a possible “taking of assets” crime, as the Prosecutor’s Office has accused him of, due to Abde’s transfer to Barcelona Football Club in 2021. The office that protects Parodi is trying to disperse it in its twelve years. Page declaration that Hercules (and his representative as head of being) never sought keep it He stated that the amount received in return for the football player’s departure (2 million euros) was paid to the Treasury and Social Security, and that the club has repeatedly shown its intention to pay its debt contracted with public creditors since 2015.
In the same vein, he argues that the division of the checks received from the Foundation to the blue-whites is due to the agreement signed between both parties that regulates the training of the players, and that the club must cover the payroll. On-time delivery of the team and workers, deadlines agreed with the Treasury and Social Security and ultimately daily expenses. By his logicThis seems consistent with the removal of goods and therefore “if there is no crime, there can be no guilt.”
The lawyer claims that everything about Abde’s departure to Barça was meticulously detailed in the “Framework Cooperation Agreement signed between the two on June 30, 2014.” This regulation consists of four parts explaining the different fees the Foundation receives for the sale of young players or their departure through the application of the termination clause (as in the case of Abde). The first three refer to the sales of football players who have contracts with the A team. and fourth, to those without a professional license.So, as in the case of the Betis attacker, they remain professionally affiliated with the Foundation.
100 percent of the money Abde received belonged to the foundation
“In case of both transfer and unilateral termination of contracts, the percentages will be 100% for CV Hércules de Alicante Foundation if the player comes from Formative, unless expressly agreed otherwise by the parties. Hércules Foundation Football, Hércules Club de Fútbol at the time of transfer or unilateral termination of contract He does not have a professional contract signed for SAD’s first team”, it says in section 4.
On behalf of the person responsible for the defense of Carlos Parodi in the Abde case, “the approval of the check is based on the matters agreed in ANNEX I dated 30 June 2014 of the Framework Cooperation Agreement dated 14 June 2011 signed between HCF and COVAHER. According to the said annex, COVAHER (the name of the Foundation in its letter) with) Abde was entitled to collect 100% of the termination clause The first of the fees paid by Barcelona Football Club for the following reasons is that the football player comes from the football foundation’s training; Secondly, he did not have a contract with the A team on the date of termination (August 31, 2021).
In the lawyer’s words, “The coincidence of both situations caused the HCF check to be endorsed to COVAHER on that date (the last day of the summer transfer market).” For this reason, the lawyer of the blue and white SAD President said, “It is not possible to understand this endorsement given on behalf of the Foundation to the check issued by Barcelona in favor of Hércules CF.” constitutes an act of divestiture of assets An act of disposition in accordance with the agreement concluded between HCF and COVAHER on 30 June 2014, which creates or gives rise to obligations that delay, impede or prevent the effectiveness of an embargo or of an enforcement or enforcement procedure, whether judicial, extra-judicial or administrative, initiated or foreseeable, but wholly and simply ” he argues.
Trying to convince the judge of Parodi’s innocence, the office lists in writing all the steps the Alicante team has followed since receiving the two million. Try to make it clear that everything is subject to law And, “under no circumstances” was there any attempt to conceal income from the Tax Office or, as claimed by the Prosecutor, the crime of “taking assets” has been committed.
A new cooperation framework
The introduction of a new category by the Spanish Football Federation and the resulting elimination of the Second B category, which included Hércules, caused the relations between youth football and the first team to be resized. This situation necessitated the preparation of a new draft agreement. On the day when Abde’s departure to Can Barça became official, a “deposit guarantee” agreement was signed between the club and the Foundation. Pursuant to this agreement, “the parties agreed that the Foundation undertakes to guarantee the normal development of Hércules CF’s activities and to ensure that it can regularly meet payments so that Hércules can regularly meet payments and obligations” to its suppliers and materials. tax and social security obligations up to the pay stubs and check amount of his employees,” says the president’s lawyer.
This caused the amount deposited on behalf of the Foundation to be divided into shares. 34 check The amount paid to the club, when estimated expenses are detailed in a monthly report, is the amount Parodi’s defense included in its brief to absolve the senior leader of the crime he is accused of. And in support of this idea, the Tax Office presents as evidence the report of the Head of the Regional Collection Team of the Special Delegation of Valencia; This report, according to the defense brief, “was intended for the payment of “funds from the sale of the player Don Abdessamad Ezzalzouli, the payment of taxes or fees of the AEAT, mutual insurance contributions of the General Treasury of Social Security, payrolls and debts with the AEAT.”
“The club did not make ‘further payments’ but, as the Inspector stated in his report, the money from the 34 checks was used to pay off the club’s debts to different creditors, including the AEAT. HCF’s debts to other creditors, including the Tax Office or the Social Security General Treasury, were payment of debts”, which states: Ignacio GallyParodi’s legal representative.
“A person who wants to seize assets at the expense of creditors, You do not offer a payment plan to your creditor The defense, which used the phrase “a singular agreement with a bank guarantee consisting of collateral” for the judge, also supports its claim with detailed receipts of income earned since Abde’s transfer became clear.
Free confession
Prosecutor Martín López Nieto believes that it has been proven from the first moment, after the procedures carried out, that “it was considered that such approval was given in order to avoid a new embargo”, to which the Hercules account has been subjected many times since 2017. and with this, it is stated what the process will be in the order “to prevent the loss of an amount” and thus to empty the bank account of the Foundation, divided into 33 checks of 60,000 Euros and 1 check of 15,772 in favor of Herkül.
The defense attorney focuses his strategy on eliminating this idea and finds that it works “free amnesty with all positive statements”. Carlos Parodi’s defense concludes: “Since there is no criminal liability, it is not appropriate to impose costs on this party. If there is no crime, there can be no author.” witness list There are people who need to testify, including the Royal Spanish Football Federation. With this testimony “At that time, the payment of payroll was essential for the survival of the Club and this was a A vital necessity for Hercules and for its perpetuity”, considering that the opposite would require an administrative demotion by law.
