The Provincial Court in Palencia will continue the oral hearing today against three people as allegedly responsible for a crime of fraud, although the third as a necessary cooperator, in the management of the Chapó nightclub. The events now being judged date back to 2012 when one of them, in order to avoid going into bankruptcy, supposedly accepted the plan devised by those investigated to create a new company to which the business of the old one had to be transferred, the Chapó nightclub, and offering to be the front man in some of the operations.
The trial is expected to conclude today, which has been held since Monday in the National Court, against four people accused of fraud in the sale of oil that they labelled as Extra Virgin Olive Oil from the province of Jaén. In reality, almost 70% of the product was sunflower oil and the rest was olive oil of a lower category. The oil was sold between 2017 and 2018 in the Córdoba municipalities of La Carlota and La Guijarrosa.
