Photos and UCO Files Undercut Sánchez’s ‘Anecdotal’ Description of Ties to Koldo García

Newly published images from García’s archive challenge the Senate testimony that portrayed their link as minimal.

Overview

  • Pedro Sánchez told a Senate commission that his relationship with Koldo García was “absolutely anecdotal,” distancing himself from the former Ábalos aide.
  • The Guardia Civil’s UCO seized around 30,000 digital files from García’s personal archive, with reports saying some were recovered from the cloud.
  • Media outlets published photographs from those files that depict Sánchez and García together during the 2014 PSOE leadership push.
  • Reporting cites Sánchez’s own book account that García drove the campaign Peugeot and slept alongside the endorsement signatures to guard them.
  • Sources close to García expressed displeasure at the “anecdotal” label, as García remains a central figure in an ongoing kickbacks investigation by the Guardia Civil and the Supreme Court.
