Overview
- Guardia Civil officers searched Acciona offices in Madrid and Bilbao, with parallel actions at related firms in San Sebastián and Sevilla, under a secret piece ordered by Supreme Court magistrate Leopoldo Puente.
- Agents collected documents and digital devices, including the computer of former Acciona Construction director Justo Vicente Pelegrini, as part of efforts to link awards to suspected payments.
- The inquiry examines UTE-awarded projects such as the remodeling of Seville’s V Centenario bridge—whose budget rose to about €103 million—and the Belate tunnel, with visits to partner companies Tecade and Freyssinet.
- The case focuses on an alleged network headed by Santos Cerdán with the involvement of Koldo García and entities like Servinabar, Noran and Erkolan; Cerdán remains in provisional detention.
- UCO reports cite audios, phone data and payment references—including €620,000 in off‑books cash and an alleged €450,000 pending—while Acciona says it is cooperating, having previously severed ties with Servinabar and dismissed senior staff.
