Former DYA President Fernando Izaguirre, on the first day of the trial.
Former Bizkaia DYA President Fernando Izaguirre has denied at the trial that he had appropriated 4.7 million euros from the NGO, even pointing out to the judge that his sole intention was to strengthen DYA's activity in the health transport sector in Catalonia, but that "everything was lost".
The second session of the trial at the Bizkaia Court began with Izaguirre's statement and then it will be the turn of his partner Juan Diego Gallardo, both accused of unfair administration and forgery of commercial documents.
Izaguirre has explained that he has "no idea" about accounting and that the DYA transferred the 5 million funds it collected to an employee of these companies.
Onthe first day of the trial, Santiago Gonzalo— who took over as director when Izagirre ceased to be president — stressed that the NGO's lawyer had given him "a bunch of papers" revealing alleged irregularities and had to hire a "financial coroner" to clear up this "imbalance."
Javier Liz 2021, manager of the NGO, for his part, said the association's economic situation was "alarming" and that all its properties were mortgaged and that it lent more than $5 million to a subsidiary.
