Esplugues de Llobregat City Council

July-2022

Following a report, the alleged irregular use or allocation of public funds by a municipal group of the council has been examined. Of the investigative actions carried out, this Office assumes as valid the action carried out by the internal control bodies of Esplugues de Llobregat City Council and its result. The council, making use of its control and internal audit powers, would have carried out the audit and approval of the financial allocations made to the municipal group in question. On the other hand, it must be made clear that, as of 2019, Esplugues de Llobregat City Council would not have complied with the transparency obligations that were approved with respect to financial allocations. The fact is that the City Council has not made public the annual summaries of the accounts of the municipal groups regarding the destination of the financial allocations met during the years 2019, 2020 and 2021. Currently, only the data appears on the municipal transparency page of the years 2016, 2017 and 2018.
