Overview
- A UCO patrimonial report alleges that envelopes with tens of thousands of euros were handed to José Luis Ábalos and his associate Koldo García inside PSOE headquarters on Calle Ferraz.
- Investigators say they detected more than €95,000 in Ábalos expenses without a bank trace for 2017–2021, which they argue reinforces the existence of undeclared cash income.
- Supreme Court magistrate Leopoldo Puente has summoned Ábalos and García to declare as investigated on October 15 and 16.
- Leveraging its Senate majority, the PP will call current and former PSOE managers Ana María Fuentes and Mariano Moreno, along with secretaries Celia Rodríguez and Covadonga Sampedro, to the case commission.
- The PSOE denies that the UCO material proves irregular party financing, as the PP presses for explanations from Pedro Sánchez and prepares a separate conflict‑of‑interest challenge at the Madrid High Court.
