Banco Santander knew about the possible intervention of Banco Popular before the ⁣capital increase

The top management of Banco⁢ Santander was already considering ⁤the scenario of a possible intervention of Banco Popular since May 2016,⁣ even before the board of directors of the ‍latter entity had approved the capital increase⁣ that took place that same year, and more than fourteen ⁤months before the resolution occurred. This is stated by Judge José Luis Calama Teixeira ⁣in the ruling that concludes the investigative​ phase ⁤of the Popular case and will‍ bring to⁢ trial the former president of the entity, Ángel Ron, ⁣the auditor PwC, ​and 12 other executives.

Specifically, according to the information from the minutes of the Executive ‍Committee of Banco Santander on May​ 16, 2016,​ which is included in the ruling, Ignacio⁤ Benjumea, then an executive director of the entity, mentioned during⁣ the meeting‌ of ⁤that day that “if we are thinking of a scenario of Banco Popular’s⁤ intervention…”. Additionally, in the same intervention, he‌ stated‌ that it would be advisable to have additional information regarding​ projections of investment needs, impacts on accounts, and ratios⁢ in order to be prepared for possible later⁤ stages ⁤of this ​process.

The move before the capital increase approval

This move took‌ place before Popular’s own board meeting to give ⁢the⁣ green ‌light to the capital increase⁢ in the entity for 2.5 billion on May 25, 2016. ⁣On that same day, a ⁢few hours before that action, the audit committee of this body‌ had decided to ⁣bring the so-called ‘Operation SKY’ ​to⁢ the bank’s highest body. It is⁤ true ‍that on April 11 of ⁤that same year, the shareholders’ meeting of Popular had approved for the board to ‌make capital increase moves, but through‍ a standard⁣ procedure⁢ and without revealing any specific intention. The capital increase was announced to the market through the National ⁤Securities ​Market Commission (CNMV) on May 26, 2016, ten days after the possibility of Popular’s intervention was ‌mentioned in the Executive Committee.

In addition, and according to the documentation attached in the same ruling, Santander,‌ along with other entities ‍such ‍as Bankia, Sabadell, and CaixaBank, accessed ‌the ⁣data room where Popular’s figures were ​transferred until early ⁢May 2017, almost a year after the aforementioned meeting​ at the Cantabrian entity.

One step closer⁣ to trial

The judge’s ruling ⁣on the ⁤Popular case made ‌public last Monday, which includes⁣ an excerpt ‌from this ⁤minutes, marks the end of ⁢the investigative phase and proposes to prosecute Ángel Ron and PwC for alleged fraud in the 2016 capital ‍increase, as well as for accounting fraud. The list ⁤of people who⁢ will face the ‍judge also includes twelve other executives. ‌On the other hand,⁣ excluded from the ⁣list are the former president of Banco Popular, Emilio ⁢Saracho, and another 20 individuals under investigation due to lack of evidence. The judge keeps ⁣Banco Santander’s possible civil liability on hold.
