Junta minister Angel Ojeda gleaned €50 million in bogus training centre scam

It has emerged that a lorry would be dispatched from Sevilla full of desks, beds, computers and other office furniture, once a tip-off about an official inspection was made.
Set up rapidly, the centre would then be disbanded the next day and packed off for inspections in other parts of Andalucia, a Cadiz judge has been told.
By this method, former Junta minister Angel Ojeda alone is personally said to have gleaned €50 million in grants.
The setting up of government-subsidised courses, around Andalucia, rarely involved any teaching or instruction. They were mere vehicles to scam grants from central government and the European Union.
