More trouble for the Ruiz Mateos family. Their ex lawyer and also the Guardia Civil have linked them with illegal payments to ex trade union leader Juan Lanzas for securing EREs for 5 Nueva Rumasa companies, 3 in Jerez. EREs (Expedientes de Regulacion de Empleo) are legal proceedings by which a company in difficulty can legally dismiss staff, who will get certain worker rights. It appears that Lanzas was receiving regular "dirty money" cash payments of 20-25,000 euros, all in 500 euro notes, in exchange for abusing his position along with a high ranking civil servant in the Junta de Andalucia. The latter is believed to be married to one of Ruiz Mateos' daughters.
Interestingly, the ex president of the Consejo Regulador of Jerez, Antonio Fernandez had to resign for irregularities with EREs.
Better news:
A festival of flamenco called La Luna de San Juan-Lustau will take place in 4 of Jerez' most traditional squares on the night of San Juan. It is co-sponsored by Bodegas Emilio Lustau. The strains of the cante jondo (the deep song) will ring out from 10.00pm. Go if you can!
