Overview
- The review describes the 2017–2024 cash system as coherent, closed and verifiable, with inflows traced to BBVA replenishments and documented outflows.
- Key figures from the report include €940,388 in bank cash top-ups, €7,283 in atypical income under 1% of entries, and €126,858 in cash outlays tied to the Organization Secretariat during José Luis Ábalos’s tenure.
- Auditors highlight unusually high or oddly located receipts such as a €332 “menu” at La Chalana, a Christmas Day meal for nine in Valencia, and bills in Paris, Andorra, Brussels and Bruges.
- Several receipts lack a named payer; where names appear they often correspond to Ábalos, his adviser Koldo García, or Ábalos’s driver, with one hotel bill appearing to be in the name of a relative of Ábalos’s former partner.
- PSOE says it will cross-check receipts and travel against official agendas in a second-phase review to determine if non-party expenses were passed through or if the party was defrauded, noting that cash liquidations were later discontinued under Santos Cerdán.
