Overview
- An updated UCO report filed to the Audiencia Nacional includes 2020 messages between Ángel Víctor Torres and Koldo García about stalled invoices tied to a €12 million masks contract.
- Investigators say Soluciones de Gestión enjoyed preferential access and arranged an initial shipment before emergency adjudications were formalized on April 22, 2020.
- Procurement emails show warnings that the masks linked to Víctor de Aldama were pricier than previous buys and that some lots might not meet FFP2 standards, which led to a payment freeze.
- The contract required 50% upfront and 50% on delivery, leaving about €7.5 million blocked for months until Torres intervened after the supplier signaled legal action, according to his office.
- The UCO states that García controlled the operations and received roughly €10,000 monthly from Aldama to secure access to administrations, and the criminal probe remains open.
