Spain's audit court investigates €276,375 payment to Canet d'En Berenguer council
The Tribunal de Cuentas (Spain's national audit court) has opened an investigation into a €276,375 payment received by Canet d'En Berenguer town council, linked to the Vitas de Amarre nautical project.
The Vitas de Amarre case — involving a planned nautical facility in the coastal town of Canet d'En Berenguer — has reached Spain's highest public-finance watchdog. The Tribunal de Cuentas (Spain's supreme state audit institution) is examining whether a €276,375 payment to the municipality was properly handled under public-funds regulations. The court is made up of 12 members, six appointed by the Congress and six by the Senate, and has the power to hold public administrators personally liable for irregular management of state funds. Canet d'En Berenguer is a municipality in the Camp de Morvedre district with around 8,297 residents, located on the Mediterranean coast at the mouth of the Palancia river. Its proximity to Sagunto and membership in the same comarca make this case relevant to the wider area. According to elperiodicodeaqui.com, the formal opening of an inquiry by the audit court represents a significant new stage in this local governance controversy.
