On Wednesday, the court ruling said that it has not been proven that the two defendants - Luis Medina and Alberto Luceño - deceived Madrid city council when they offered to supply masks in the Covid pandemic in spring 2020 for an exorbitant price (6.24 euros each).

In fact, the council was told by the judge it did not ask enough about commissions when buying: the defendants took about six million euros out of a total of eleven that the contract was worth.

The ruling said nothing illegal had been committed. However, Luceño was found guilty of tax fraud for not declaring income correctly and for falsifying ID to travel in the pandemic.
