Overview

• The judge overseeing the investigation into Andalusian Health Service (SAS) emergency contracts has denied PSOE's requests for additional witness testimonies and a police report on money laundering and corruption.
• The court is proceeding with the prosecutor's request for specific documents, including council agreements, audit letters, and disconformity reports from the Junta de Andalucía audit body.
• The investigation, initiated by a complaint from 30 PSOE MPs, scrutinizes emergency health contracts awarded during the pandemic under the PP-led government of Juanma Moreno.
• Three SAS directors, including current head Valle García Sánchez, are under investigation for alleged prevarication, a serious administrative offense in Spain.
• The PSOE has advocated for state auditors from the Ministry of Finance to review the contracts, but the court has deferred this decision until receipt of requested documents.
