Ana Garrido Ramos was a local government employee of the Ayuntamiento of Boadilla del Monte in central Madrid, Spain.[1] and a key witness and whistleblower in the Gürtel case, an ongoing political corruption scandal in Spain.
In 1993, Ramos started employment with the Ayuntamiento de Boadilla, working in the youth section , becoming its head in 2007. In March 2008, Mayor Arturo González Panero chose to stand down,[2] after a period of illness and went to stay in Costa Rica.[2] González Panero was later named in the Panama Papers.[3]
An internal company document suggested that he acted beyond his remit both geographically and in poitical and business dealings.[citation needed] Even though Garrido had knowledge of the entire contents of the document, she decided not to blow the whistle, fearing reprisals, and continued to work for the Ayuntamiento de Boadilla.
When the anti-corruption organisation Manos Limpias ("Clean Hands") received the document, it submitted it to the es (a special committee of the Spanish Procurator-fiscal),[4] which prompted them to start investigations into what was to become the Gürtel case.[2]
The 2011 indictment by Judge Garzón forced González Panero's resignation as mayor, and in the 2011 elections a new mayor, Antonio González Terol, took charge. González Panero returned to his managerial post as leader of the Youth Section until in 2013 he was accused of workplace harrassment.[4]
