Overview

• Judge Leopoldo Puente has called José Luis Ábalos to testify on Wednesday and Koldo García on Thursday, with Anticorruption to decide on custody measures after the interrogations.
• The UCO patrimonial report portrays García as the custodian of Ábalos’s money, managed with Patricia Úriz, and details a dual “A/B” system and coded terms such as “folios,” “chistorras,” “soles” and “lechugas.”
• Intercepted messages and emails indicate cash deliveries from PSOE headquarters continued after the party’s last recorded liquidations in early 2019, including a November 11, 2019 WhatsApp reminding García to collect “your money.”
• Photographic annexes show a PSOE-branded envelope with €2,928.26 and another with €826.73 tied to reimbursements, with messages describing collections by García’s wife and brother from Ferraz.
• Parallel inquiries examine facilitation of public contracts, with UCO messages linking meetings for businessmen with then‑Adif chief Isabel Pardo de Vera and court-ordered patrimonial probes into Pardo de Vera and ex–Roads director Javier Herrero.
