PSPV files complaint over two Finestrat contracts linked to David Serra against Pérez Llorca

Complaint against the Valencian president

The PSPV-PSOE filed a complaint on Tuesday, 10 November 2026, with the Fiscalía Superior de la Comunitat Valenciana against Juanfran Pérez Llorca, the current president of the Generalitat. The complaint concerns two contracts that the Ayuntamiento de Finestrat in Alicante awarded to the law firm Estudi General Advocats i Asessor in 2018 and 2023, when Pérez Llorca, who headed the town hall from 2015 to 2025, was mayor and the contracting authority. The 2018 contract was worth 154,880 euros and the 2023 contract 232,320 euros, both for four years. The firm is linked to David Serra, a former PP deputy convicted in the Gürtel case in 2018 to three years and eight months in prison. The socialists had announced the move on 30 September, when party secretary general Diana Morant, who is also a minister, said the complaint would go to the anti-corruption prosecutors, so filing took 41 days.

What the complaint alleges

The complaint states that the facts could amount to administrative misconduct, fraud against the administration in public procurement and bribery, and it asks prosecutors to examine the files, bids, technical reports, solvency documents, invoices and any professional or financial ties. Vicent Mascarell listed several anomalies: the cheapest bid in 2018 was excluded for an alleged missed deadline, the firm's economic solvency and required insurance were questioned in the 2023 tender, ten lawyers were committed without a matching staff structure in company records, and points were awarded for defending municipal authorities and employees, a service the complaint says was expressly excluded from the contract. The PSPV also questions the timing of the digital signature of the 2023 valuation report, which was signed five days after the contracting board approved it and after the economic bids were opened. The complaint asks whether the firm advised relatives of Pérez Llorca or companies tied to his business, on what terms, and who paid, and it describes a possible conflict of interest that needs to be clarified.

Party reaction and the PP response

Jose Muñoz, the PSPV spokesman in Les Corts, told reporters that the contracts raise a link that needs explaining, and he asked why Valencians should trust Pérez Llorca if the PP national leader does not. Muñoz put the core point in these words:

“There is a suspicious relationship between the award of contracts worth about 400,000 euros to the firm of the convicted David Serra and his relationship with the Pérez Llorca family.”

The socialists urged Alberto Núñez Feijóo, the PP national president, to take decisions, study the complaint and investigate everything in the dossier that they say was assembled by people inside the PP. Mascarell said the complaint was the first of possibly other filings and, in the same remarks, accused Pérez Llorca's rivals inside the party of doing the work for them:

“The inconfessable enemies of Pérez Llorca have done a good job with this dossier.”

The PP has described the complaint as part of a defamation campaign against Pérez Llorca. It argues that both contracts were awarded through public competition, that the contracting board is made up of technicians and no politicians, and that each award follows the technicians' scoring.

Origin of the dossier and political timing

The complaint draws on an anonymous dossier that the socialists say was produced by PP insiders, and ABC reported that the report was drawn up about two months earlier and was based on surveillance of Pérez Llorca and his family environment. elDiario.es, which first made the material public, reported that Serra had been followed and seen meeting Miguel Ángel Ivorra, the Generalitat's director general of Urbanism. According to El Confidencial, the filing came three days before the campaign for the general election known as 29-N was due to begin. Mascarell called the filing the first of possibly other complaints, should the alleged offences in the dossier be shown to be criminal.
