Supreme Court Orders €60,000 Bonds From Ábalos and Koldo as Koldo Seeks Same for Aldama

Failure to deposit the guarantee will trigger asset seizures within days.

Overview

  • The court delivered its order to Soto del Real prison and gave the two defendants five working days from Monday to post the €60,000 each.
  • Judges opened separate pecuniary-responsibility tracks to monitor compliance and to manage measures such as embargo annotations.
  • Koldo García petitioned the court to require a bond from businessman Víctor de Aldama, arguing he has greater solvency and that civil liability is shared.
  • Anti-corruption prosecutors seek 24 years in prison for José Luis Ábalos and 19 years and six months for García, plus fines of about €3.9 million each.
  • Ábalos named penal lawyer Marino Turiel as new counsel after Carlos Bautista resigned, with a detention review hearing scheduled this week.
