Overview

  • On July 21, ex-ADIF president Isabel Pardo de Vera and former Director General of Roads Javier Herrero will be formally interrogated as investigados over alleged rigging of public works contracts.
  • Judge Ismael Moreno issued the summons after the Supreme Court transferred parts of the Caso Koldo/Cerdán probe to the Audiencia Nacional upon finding consistent indications of their involvement.
  • UCO investigators uncovered intercepted communications and recordings suggesting Pardo de Vera and Herrero provided sensitive bidding information under direction of adviser Koldo García.
  • Business figures Antxon Alonso of Servinabar and Acciona’s Fernando Merino have testified as suspects before Supreme Court magistrate Leopoldo Puente, denying any illicit payments or influence and attributing UTE decisions to hierarchical choices.
  • The investigation, which spans parallel proceedings under the Supreme Court and Audiencia Nacional, highlights jurisdictional coordination in probing alleged kickbacks involving senior infrastructure officials and political operatives.
