Overview
- The summons was issued by Judge Ismael Moreno at the request of anti-corruption prosecutor Luis Pastor.
- The order relies on a 3 October UCO report that identifies Úriz as collecting envelopes at the PSOE’s Ferraz headquarters tied to reimbursements, with WhatsApp exchanges describing pickups and concerns about storing cash.
- Úriz remains under investigation for alleged money laundering after the judge declined in June to close the case, citing rational indications of the offense.
- Outlets differ on whether her upcoming appearance relates to the main masks-procurement piece of the case or the separate line on PSOE cash payments.
- Investigators have flagged code words for cash denominations in messages and have examined whether funds linked to former minister José Luis Ábalos were handled by the couple.
