It highlights discrepancies such as a dividend payment of €1.225 million in 2025 that appears unclear whether it was actually distributed, as the company’s reserves do not support this amount. Additionally, there are conflicting registered addresses for his companies, including Masterman & Whitaker, which previously operated from a property in Madrid purchased by González Amador after facilitating a mask sale deal. The article notes that Masterman has reported zero revenue in recent years despite being linked to ongoing legal investigations into alleged corruption involving Quirón executives. The Spanish tax authority (AEAT) classified Masterman as a 'shell company' used to evade taxes through services provided by Quirón, which were deemed impossible for Masterman to fulfill due to lack of resources.
