The Supreme Court tightens the noose around ultra 'Alvise' and orders the tracking of his European campaign's accounts and 'wallets'

The Supreme Court has reactivated the most serious judicial front facing Luis Pérez Fernández, 'Alvise', and has put under scrutiny the money with which the ultra platform Se Acabó La Fiesta ran in the 2024 European elections. The investigating judge Julián Sánchez Melgar has demanded the complete accounting of the ultra group, has asked the Court of Accounts for all the documentation submitted regarding that campaign, and has instructed the National Police to follow the trail of virtual wallets linked to the MEP and cryptocurrency entrepreneur Álvaro Romillo.

The investigation is moving forward again after the European Parliament withdrew the far-right leader's immunity in May. Alvise fully retains his presumption of innocence during an investigation that must still determine the origin, destination, and purpose of the funds under investigation. The case remains open, with no formal accusation or trial scheduled.

The 100,000 euros Alvise received in cash

The focus of the investigation is on the 100,000 euros in cash that Romillo handed to 'Alvise' during the preparation of the election campaign. The ultra leader himself admitted to the Supreme Court that he received that amount, although he maintains that the money did not end up in SALF's electoral accounts and that part was used for personal expenses and professional travel.

Romillo's version is very different. The businessman has declared that the cash was intended to finance the Se Acabó La Fiesta campaign, which obtained more than 800,000 votes and three seats in the European elections. The National Police has also questioned Alvise's account and considers it "clearly evident" that he sought to raise money for his candidacy through opaque funds, undeclared and difficult to audit.

The investigators have also incorporated messages in which the MEP spoke of economic needs that could be between 300,000 and 360,000 euros. The amount delivered by Romillo could therefore be part of the money that the ultra leader was trying to raise to support his leap to European institutions.

The case began after the businessman himself went to the Prosecutor's Office and explained his relationship with 'Alvise'. The reasoned statement that the Audiencia Nacional sent to the Supreme Court also included the creation of a 'wallet' to receive anonymous donations that would remain outside public control.

According to that resolution, Romillo would have helped the ultra candidate with the expectation that he would promote his financial businesses and the Madeira Invest Club platform. The businessman is being prosecuted in a different case for the alleged fraud of more than 185 million euros to 3,062 investors, along with nine other people.

The judge demands the complete accounts of Se Acabó La Fiesta

Sánchez Melgar has required the legal representative or the electoral administrator of SALF the accounting of the formation, the treasury books, the balances, the inventories, the income and expense accounts, capital operations and all bank movements related to the campaign.

The Supreme Court also demands the receipts for each payment made to support the candidacy and the audit report issued by the Court of Accounts. The auditing body itself must send the instructor the complete file it received from the group after the elections.

The General Information Commissioner of the National Police will have to prepare, for its part, a report on the traffic registered in the virtual wallets created by Alvise and Romillo. This tracking will allow verifying if the wallets received funds, who transferred them and if that money had any link with the electoral activity of the ultra formation.

The proceedings have been requested by the PSOE, appearing as popular prosecution, and have the support of the Prosecutor's Office. The Public Ministry maintains that the evidence gathered so far has reinforced the initial suspicions until turning them into rational indications of criminality.

The instructor has for the moment postponed a new statement by 'Alvise' and Romillo, as well as a complete patrimonial investigation of both and of SALF. These measures are pending the result of the accounts, the receipts and the police report on the 'wallets'.

An investigation for six possible crimes

The Supreme Court is investigating in this procedure possible crimes of illegal financing, electoral crime, fraud, misappropriation, money laundering and document forgery. The National Court initially appreciated that the receipt of cash and the possible concealment of donations could have altered the electoral accounts that had to be audited.

Legislation prohibits anonymous donations and obliges parties and electoral groups to identify their income, reflect their expenses, and present transparent accounting. The investigation seeks to clarify whether 'Alvise' designed a parallel system to receive money outside these controls while publicly building a campaign based on denouncing political corruption.

SALF's financing is the largest of the far-right MEP's legal fronts, but it is far from being the only one. The Supreme Court keeps six cases open against Alvise for matters related to his political activity and messages disseminated from his networks and communication channels.

From Salvador Illa's fake PCR to messages against a prosecutor

A second case examines the dissemination of an alleged fake PCR test attributed in 2021 to Salvador Illa, then Minister of Health and current president of the Generalitat. The high court is investigating possible crimes of forgery in a private document and slander for the publication of that information.

'Alvise' is also under investigation for the messages directed from his networks against Susana Gisbert, delegated prosecutor for hate crimes in Valencia. The procedure studies whether the ultra leader committed a crime related to harassment and threats against the representative of the Public Prosecutor's Office.

Another front affects Diego Solier and Nora Junco, the two MEPs who entered the European Parliament as part of the Se Acabó La Fiesta candidacy and later broke with 'Alvise'. The Criminal Chamber is investigating possible crimes of disclosure of secrets and harassment for the dissemination of information about both.

The mayor of Algeciras and senator José Ignacio Landaluce also filed a complaint against the ultra leader for alleged conditional threats. That complaint also ended up in the Supreme Court due to Alvise's status as a European privileged person.

The sixth case was opened this July and revolves around messages published during the 2024 agricultural protests. The court finds evidence to investigate whether Alvise encouraged the collapse of roads, infrastructure, and strategic points from Telegram, actions that could constitute a crime of incitement to commit aggravated public disorder.

The immunity that kept the case paralyzed

The investigation into the campaign money remained suspended for months because 'Alvise' acquired parliamentary immunity upon becoming an MEP. The Supreme Court had to formally request permission from the European Parliament to continue with proceedings that could affect the exercise of his office.

The European Parliament approved the lifting of that protection in May. With the obstacle now cleared, the investigating judge has resumed a case in which Alvise had voluntarily testified before the procedure was frozen.

The order for the new proceedings is dated July 8, 2026. The Chamber has notified the Public Prosecutor's Office and the other parties of the resolution, while the Justice Administration lawyer processes the requests addressed to SALF, the Court of Auditors, and the General Information Commissioner of the National Police.
