Overview

• A recent UCO report to the Supreme Court outlines recordings and documents suggesting Cerdán managed illicit payments with ex-minister José Luis Ábalos and adviser Koldo García through entities like Servinabar
• Judge Leopoldo Puente has offered Cerdán a voluntary hearing on June 25 after identifying “consistentes indicios” of illicit commission schemes in his conduct
• The opposition PP demanded a joint press conference with Pedro Sánchez and Cerdán, calling for explanations, resignations and snap elections over the allegations
• Smaller coalition partners Sumar, ERC and PNV have publicly pressed the PSOE for full disclosure of the UCO findings before reaffirming their support
• Senior PSOE figures initially defended Cerdán, but ministers including Justice head Félix Bolaños have since avoided explicit public backing
