The Alicante Prosecutor’s Office has requested prison sentences for three individuals connected to the Hércules CF and its affiliated foundation. The prosecutor seeks three years of imprisonment for Carlos Parody, who leads the football club, and two and a half years for the second defendant associated with the club’s administration, as well as for the head of the Hércules Foundation, identified here through a representative case. The charges concern the improper release and management of assets related to a residence case, where the prosecutor alleges misappropriation and concealment of public funds. This development follows ongoing investigations into the handling of financial obligations tied to the club and its entities. (Source: Alicante Prosecutor’s Office)
The Court’s Findings on Asset Concealment
- In recent proceedings, the court has noted that Hércules allegedly moved funds to obscure a two-million-euro liability to the Treasury. The case involves the transfer of a player and the club’s contractual commitment to clear debts that accumulated when the club faced bankruptcy in 2011. (Source: Alicante Prosecutor’s Office)
The Public Department implicates three individuals in concealing the Treasury payment of two million euros tied to the blue and white management entity. A criminal complaint emerged from Barça regarding the player’s transfer, suggesting that contractual obligations to settle public debt were not honored since the club was declared bankrupt in 2011. The events under scrutiny include the handling of assets and their supposed release by the club and its foundation, raising questions about compliance with public financial responsibilities.

Hércules Settles Public Debt Linked to Abde’s Transfer
Evidence shows that both Hércules and the Foundation eventually settled the public debt related to the transfer of the player Abde. The debt was addressed after the criminal case began, signaling a shift in how the club and its associated body managed fiscal obligations under legal scrutiny. This sequence underlines the tension between club finances and public accountability, highlighting how professional sports organizations must align with state requirements even amid disputes over player transactions.
