Overview
- A new UCO report to the Supreme Court documents cash deliveries benefiting José Luis Ábalos and adviser Koldo García that were not recorded by the PSOE.
- Investigators highlight that the cash flows align in time with the alleged rigging of public-works contracts and the distribution of illicit commissions.
- Judge Leopoldo Puente is preparing an imminent procesamiento focused on the Covid-era mask contracts and alleged public-sector placements, after formally separating that piece from the public-works probe.
- Message and financial analyses indicate Koldo repeatedly covered expenses for Ábalos without documented reimbursement, though agents note they lacked access to the family banking records of Ábalos.
- Testimony from businessman Víctor de Aldama and executive Carmen Pano describes territorial quotas and cash deliveries to PSOE headquarters, which the court views as significant when assessed against the timing of the alleged scheme.
