- The Provincial Prosecutor’s Office in Madrid opposed Vox’s request to search PSOE headquarters in Ferraz, citing insufficient indicia, constitutional protections, and a lack of formal police backing.
- Vox’s petition also sought entries into the homes of a former and the current PSOE managers, requests the prosecutor rejected before the matter was sent to the National Court.
- Guardia Civil reporting incorporated in the Koldo case alleges an ex‑advisor to José Luis Ábalos received cash envelopes not reflected in identified party expense liquidations.
- The Supreme Court trial of Attorney General Álvaro García Ortiz ended visto para sentencia after UCO officers linked him to control of a leaked email and a press note, while his defense attacked the searches, chain of custody, and the scope of journalists’ prior access.
