- Party documents filed to the Supreme Court detail roughly €1 million withdrawn in cash from 2017 to 2024 to settle executive expenses, with specified sums linked to the Organization Secretariat, Santos Cerdán, José Luis Ábalos and Koldo García.
- Ferraz and Moncloa reject the existence of a parallel cash ledger, stating all expenditures were accounted for and pledging to provide full documentation.
