This deposit seeks to prevent two former employees of the Bankia office in Amposta and the entity itself, later acquired by CaixaBank, from being tried in the trial scheduled to begin on June 2. The second section of the Audiencia de Tarragona held an initial session of preliminary questions, which will extend through June and July.

The Prosecutor's Office and the private accusations, represented by the Platform of Affected Parties and the Cooperative itself, have accepted the agreement to withdraw charges against the former director of the Amposta office and the sub-director, as well as against Bankia as a legal entity. This decision will significantly reduce the number of summoned witnesses, which initially exceeded 300.

The payment from CaixaBank, the current owner of the accused entity, amounts to 3 million euros: 1.64 million to compensate the damage to the Cooperative and 1.36 million for depositors in the credit section. Three years ago, a lower amount had been offered but was rejected by the Platform of Affected Parties.

According to the Prosecutor's Office's indictment, the banking entity played a crucial role in the 2012 bankruptcy. It details that the former manager of the Cooperative requested a loan from Bankia backed by the entity's financial assets, and subsequently, credit section assets were pledged as collateral for another mortgage loan, money that the agricultural cooperative allegedly never received.

At the time of the bankruptcy, Bankia blocked not only the Cooperative's accounts but also those opened directly with the entity and illegally linked to the credit section. Of the 5.84 million euros withheld, 3.52 million were in accounts with Bankia's own numbering. This situation affected 408 creditors, generating a total debt of 6.97 million euros, of which 4.6 million were depositors' savings.

With the withdrawal of the accusation against the former employees and the bank, ten defendants will be tried. The main one is the former manager, for whom the public prosecutor requests a sentence of fourteen and a half years in prison for crimes such as accounting fraud and disloyal administration. The head of the auditing firm BDO is also accused, for whom seven years and three months in prison are requested.
