Supreme Court Summons Three Former Acciona Executives in Escalating Koldo Investigation

The move follows a new UCO report alleging a 2% kickback channelled through Servinabar with Santos Cerdán acting as the intermediary.

Overview

  • Judge Leopoldo Puente partially lifted secrecy and ordered Justo Vicente Pelegrini, Tomás Olarte Sanz and Manuel José García Alconchel to appear as investigados on 3 December.
  • The UCO last week searched Acciona offices in Madrid and Bilbao as well as the Basque firms Noran and Erkolan, and investigators are examining seized documents and devices.
  • The latest police analysis says Servinabar took a net 2% fee on Acciona public-works awards, accounting for about 75.33% of its inflows, and identifies Cerdán as the link to Transport.
  • Financial records cited by the UCO show transfers from Servinabar to Noran and Erkolan totaling hundreds of thousands of euros, which investigators say were used to route funds.
  • The report describes meetings held during active tenders with phones switched off, use of the Threema app and handwritten notes on screen, and details Servinabar-paid benefits for Cerdán and relatives including rent, short-term contracts and a company credit card used up to the eve of Koldo García’s arrest.
