The Provincial Prosecutor's Office of Las Palmas sees indications of misconduct in a 2021 decree signed by Dolores Corujo and refers the case to the Supreme Court due to her protected status.
The Secretary General of the Canary Coalition in Lanzarote, Pedro San Ginés, has expressed his confidence that justice will act decisively following the news that the Provincial Prosecutor's Office of Las Palmas has sent the proceedings of the so-called Sosa case to the Supreme Court. The Public Prosecutor's Office sees rational indications of possible administrative misconduct, potentially connected to other crimes against Public Administration.
The origin of the case lies in Decree 5684/2021, issued by María Dolores Corujo when she presided over the Cabildo of Lanzarote. According to the Prosecutor's Office, that decree may have provided administrative cover for a situation that violated the legal requirements applicable to public officials and the management of island resources.
The Prosecutor's Office dismantles the PSOE narrative
Pedro San Ginés has emphasized that, for years, the PSOE tried to present the Sosa case as a political strategy of CC. “Today, the Prosecutor's Office itself dismantles that narrative by finding rational indications of possible misconduct and elevating the file to the Supreme Court,” he stated in a press release.
The nationalist leader reminded that the Prosecutor's decision is not a dismissal, but precisely the opposite. “It understands that there are sufficient elements for the Supreme Court Prosecutor's Office to assess the continuation of the proceedings due to Dolores Corujo's protected status,” he explained.
Political turncoats and debts under scrutiny
San Ginés has gone further and linked the case to political turncoats. “The investigation will have to determine all responsibilities, but it is very difficult to think that a political operation of this nature could develop without the collusion of the former presidents of the Canary Islands, Ángel Víctor Torres, and the former president of the Cabildo, María Dolores Corujo,” he stated.
The nationalist has harshly criticized Corujo: “If she had a minimum of political decency, she would have already resigned from her seat in Congress and apologised for promoting this criminal turncoatism and expecting the people of Lanzarote to pay for Sosa's debts.”
For the residents of Lanzarote, this case has a direct impact: the 2021 decree affected the management of public island resources, and the possible implication of the former president of the Cabildo generates uncertainty about administrative transparency on the island. Now, the Supreme Court must decide whether to open a formal investigation against the national deputy.
