Gang Operation in Jaén

La Operation Gang It is a plot of alleged purchase of votes for the Municipal Elections that occurred in Jaén and which began to be reported in May of 2023.

What is Operation Gang

On November 21, as reported El Mundo, two people were arrested in Jaén in the alleged case of PP vote buying denounced by the PSOE, one of them had friendship ties with Julio Millán, socialist spokesman for Jaén in the opposition and former mayor of the capital of Jaén. This complaint came to nothing because the National Police concluded that there was no vote buying and that everything was part of a setup to try to accuse these PP councilors.

The National Police, according to the media, believes that one of the detainees was in permanent contact with PSOE officials, although it is not clear whether on his own initiative or by order. The other detainee collaborated in the plot of the messages that were reported to the National Police Station. Conversations and contacts with Julio Illán and other electoral campaign collaborators of the PSOE of Jaén appear on the mobile phones of the two detainees.

On November 21, Erik Domínguez, provincial president of the PP and Agustín González, mayor of Jaén for the PP, appeared at an urgent press conference. The mayor assured that the plot involved a manipulation of public opinion. Regarding Operation 'Gang', the mayor of Jaén expressed feeling "shame, embarrassment and, above all, indignation" for a setup in which "an attempt was made to manipulate public opinion, affecting municipal elections, and what is more "The name and reputation of two honest people was seriously slandered, falsified and insulted."

Agustín González, Julio Millán asked him to stop “throwing the ball away” and to recognize his mistake and ask for forgiveness. And he assures that “in politics, not everything goes.” He asks for prudence and trust in justice. “I would like to ask: Did anyone reflect then? On that day of reflection, did anyone reflect for five minutes? And today: Has anyone apologized to you? Has anyone heard Mr. Millán ask for forgiveness? Because six months have passed, who can repair the honor, the pain and the reputation of these two honest politicians falsely accused of buying votes.”

The investigation of this setup known as Operation Gang can lead to crimes for libel, slander, false complaints and even some type of electoral crime. It is confirmed that the PP will go to the end and that the next step will be to begin the investigation of the people who are related, also to see if there is anyone from the PSOE allegedly involved who can be called as an investigator.

Statement by Agustín González on Operation Gang

The general secretary of the PP of Andalusia, Antonio Repullo asks Juan Espadas for explanations

Following the latest news that emerged, on December 12, Antonio Repullo encouraged the leader of the PSOE-A, John Swords, to give "explanations" about the alleged "new cases that add to" the "history" of alleged corruption that "the PSOE already has in Andalusia" in relation to the alleged vote-buying plot reported in Jaén, which is known as Operation Gang.

In line, Antonio Repullo has argued that the PSOE-A, "far from contributing to the transformation process that the 'popular' Government of Juanma Moreno began five years ago in this community, continues to damage the image of our land." The latest information that has become known about the alleged vote-buying plot in Jaén reveals "the ways of acting of the PSOE in this province and throughout Andalusia" and also that "The Police investigation comes to ratify what "We already feared that the socialists of Jaén and the candidate for Mayor of this city, Julio Millán, created false messages to make it believe that the Popular Party was trying to buy votes."

According to Repullo, it has been proven that "that was a lie" and the complaint was filed, and "the truth is that it was precisely the PSOE that was trying to buy wills to benefit in the municipal elections of last May 28" explaining that "And what "What worries us even more is knowing that the socialist candidate Millán showed his intention to transmit this false purchase of votes to the national leadership of the PSOE in Ferraz, so that from there they could set the guidelines to follow,"

Antonio Repullo has added that, "if this fact is confirmed, we would be talking about events in which the federal PSOE would be aware of what happened and its leaders would also have to give explanations to society." The Secretary General of the PPA has demanded to know "if the Andalusian socialist leadership and Espadas were aware of the practices of its candidates in Jaén and, if applicable, to clarify what measures it has adopted towards the party officials in the province of Jaén who are involved in this plot".

Repullo believes that Julio Millán "cannot continue to hold responsibilities in the Jaén City Council for one more minute." "He must resign from his position as a socialist councillor in the City Council and, if not, Espadas must come forward once and for all and demand that this leader resign from his posts."https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jk_njlCRw6c

Julio Millán testifies before the police

The former mayor of Jaén Julio Millán testified on December 12 before the Police about the PP vote-buying scheme. Julio Millán is the current general secretary of the PSOE in Jaén and appeared to clarify his connection with the messages investigated in the plot the day after the elections.

The former mayor of the PSOE in Jaén said that he was going to continue Ferraz instructions Regarding the purchase of votes, the socialist councilor assured a newspaper commercial that he was going to consult his party in Madrid (ABC). The Police question whether the PP's false messages were written by his "colleague" because they barely had any spelling mistakes.

And the tension that the matter causes has caused the mayor of Jaén, who managed to win the elections and governs with a pact with JM+, asked Julio Millán this Tuesday to "resign over your alleged relationship" with the alleged setup and has based it on the fact that, after the proceedings were filed, "the police investigation links the socialist leader with the alleged plot."

Agustín González has reacted harshly to this murky case and has asked for "respect and transparency instead of opacity and lies." The Popular Party councilor has blamed his predecessor in office for "having dangerous friendships, denounce vote buying with false evidence and to favor the hiring of the person who according to the National Police concocted the crude setup" to implicate Losa and Palomares, the PP councilors.

Operation Gang in the press

The entire plot of the false purchase of votes in which the PSOE of Jaén seems to be allegedly involved has had a wide impact in the Andalusian press.
