The latest annual accounts filed with Spain’s Registro Mercantil for several companies controlled by Alberto González Amador show striking discrepancies for 2025. At the centre of the matter is the consultancy Maxwell Cremona: its documents record a “Dividendo con cargo a reservas” of €1,225,000, while the free reserves reported at the year-end amount to around €596,500. It remains unclear whether the stated dividend was actually paid; the figures do not provide a coherent explanation for it. (As at 15 August 2026.)
Further inconsistencies concern registered addresses: several entries give different business addresses or revert to previous addresses without explanation. Also affected is Masterman & Whitaker, a company linked to the others. Profits were also adjusted retrospectively because payments to the tax authority were made late. The accounts of another company in the holiday rental business list the letting of industrial premises as its activity—a difficult-to-explain departure from its stated business model.
Context and status of investigations: Tax and criminal investigations are under way into González Amador, the partner of the regional president of Madrid, Isabel Díaz Ayuso. According to consistent media reports, these are based on reports by the Guardia Civil (unit UCO) and the tax authority, as well as documents available from the Registro Mercantil. Areas under examination include financial flows between companies linked to González Amador and the healthcare group Quirón between 2021 and 2023, as well as the economic substance of intermediary companies. In this context, a company purchase in 2020 for €499,836 has also been cited.
The accounting and reporting discrepancies identified increase scrutiny of the companies involved. However, on their own, they prove neither a criminal offence nor a definitive tax assessment. Whether the matters constitute incorrect bookkeeping, formal deficiencies or deliberate concealment remains subject to forensic investigation and judicial determination. Statements about alleged payments or the granting of benefits should be attributed to the assumptions underlying the investigations; at present, reliable facts are limited to the documented account entries, register records and official audit documents cited by the media.
