Compromís presented its Agencia Valenciana Antifraude filed a complaint because the council Bétera is said to have appointed a young man for around ten days as a temporary officer of the Policía Local without him having demonstrated that he met the formal requirements set out in the recruitment notice. The case became public on 9 September. According to research by elDiario.es documents show that the man provided no proof of either his Bachillerato qualification or his driving licence.
According to the report, the person concerned, a young man of Colombian origin, had previously gone through a selection process at the Ayuntamiento de Cheste which consisted of a questionnaire, a psychometric test and a medical examination. Months later, he is said to have joined the Ayuntamiento de Bétera as a temporary officer of the Policía Local. During this short period, he had access to official resources such as databases and equipment reserved for regular police officers. He resigned after around ten days.
Compromís says it submitted the complaint to the Agencia Valenciana Antifraude because basic entry requirements in the recruitment notice had not been demonstrated. The party first raised the matter at Bétera town hall and then referred it to the agency. The complaint seeks to establish whether there were procedural errors or breaches of duty in drawing up and applying the candidate lists, or in temporarily filling posts.
According to elDiario.es, Bétera town hall referred to responsibilities relating to the process in ChestePublic notices from the two town halls show that candidate lists for Agentes de Policía Local are formally established and published. Whether the rules on checking documents and proof of qualifications were correctly applied in this specific case is the subject of the investigation now under way.
The reports available establish that the man served for a short time in Bétera’s Policía Local, did not submit all the required formal proof, and that Compromís referred the matter to the Agencia Valenciana Antifraude. Whether this will lead to disciplinary or legal consequences depends on the findings of the agency’s review and, where applicable, any further administrative or investigative proceedings.
