Former Bizkaia DYA President Fernando Izaguirre will be tried this Tuesday on charges of appropriating EUR 4.75 million from the NGO. The Public Prosecutor's Office is requesting a seven-year prison sentence for the main defendant for fraud. 

The trial will begin at 09:30 in the Bizkaia Territorial Court.

Izaguirre had a long career at the DYA in Bizkaia and served as president from 2016 to 2021

Then the new management that came in ordered an internal audit and found irregularities in money, so he filed a lawsuit against Izaguirre. 

When the case broke out in 2022 he was Director of Emergencies and Meteorology of the Basque Government and presented his resignation.
