Overview
- Judge Leopoldo Puente set December 3 questioning for Justo Vicente Pelegrini, Tomás Olarte Sanz and Manuel José García Alconchel, lifted secrecy in part and ordered analysis of seized documents and devices.
- The UCO searched Acciona offices in Madrid and Bilbao and two Basque firms, Noran and Erkolan, and gathered records tied to alleged commission payments, with additional information requests in Sevilla.
- A November 11 UCO report portrays Santos Cerdán as the link between Acciona and the Transport Ministry and describes a pattern in which Servinabar received a 2% fee on awarded works in Logroño, Sevilla and Sant Feliu de Llobregat, with claimed commissions totaling about €1.07 million and at least €620,000 allegedly paid.
- Forensic analysis cited by investigators says 75.33% of Servinabar’s income came from Acciona contracts and traces significant transfers to Noran and Erkolan, while noting a Servinabar credit card used by Cerdán or his family, rent payments for his Madrid housing and short-term family employment; Cerdán remains in pretrial detention.
- Investigators document meetings where Cerdán, Servinabar owner Joseba Antxon Alonso and Acciona’s Pelegrini used privacy measures such as switching off phones, communicating via Threema and convening near PSOE headquarters or at a property rented by Servinabar.
