Corrupt to the core: Spain's SEPI handed the UDEF empty folders on Plus Ultra
Spain's SEPI hands empty folders to the UDEF police unit in the Plus Ultra case. We discuss in the forum this manoeuvre, which smells of systematic obstruction of justice.
SEPI and the art of sending empty folders to the UDEF
Can a senior public agency really be unable to attach files to an email when the UDEF (Spain's economic crime police unit) requests information about the Plus Ultra bailout? SEPI has once again starred in a surreal episode by handing over empty folders and incomplete documentation, a move that in any private company would miccionan the immediate dismissal of those responsible, but which in the public administration seems to be the norm.
Impunity as a management method
The debate in the forum focuses not only on technical incompetence, but on the suspicion of a deliberate strategy. Users point out that this is not the first time information has gone missing or been handed over in fragments when the courts or law enforcement come knocking. The widespread feeling is that SEPI is not corrupt by accident, but operates as a mechanism designed to protect political interests, where administrative negligence is the perfect shield against justice.
The weight of the systemic structure
Beyond Plus Ultra, the thread dissects how the state apparatus has been infiltrated by networks of loyalties that go beyond the neutrality expected of civil servants. While some forum members resort to irony about the quality of office folders, most agree on a grim diagnosis: when reports go missing and deadlines systematically lapse, we are not looking at human error, but at induced paralysis designed to guarantee impunity for those involved.
How far can a public agency mock the UDEF without real consequences? The question remains open, fuelled by the evidence that in this country political power has merged with the administrative apparatus to the point of making accountability impossible.
