The exrector of the Universidad Rey Juan Carlos (URJC) of Madrid, Fernando Suarez, who had to leave office in 2017 by several allegations of plagiarism in some of his scholarly works, has gained a plus of € 2,000 on their "merits" in the investigation.

In particular, public aid granted has as its objective "to stimulate research through the evaluation ex post of the scientific production and the individual for the year 2018 and the consequent allocation of a sum of individual business on the basis of merit".

Sources of the URJC have pointed to Efe that Suarez, in spite of being investigated for alleged plagiarism, "is currently entitled" to collect the plus for research, since it is a complement that "he is" because it is granted to all those faculty researchers who request it. "There is a judicial investigation opened on the issue of his plagiarism, but as long as the same is not resolved, the presumption of innocence prevails", say those same sources, who insist that, legally, from the university "you can't deny that add to the merit of a researcher".
