UCO Arrests Businessman Antxon Alonso in National Court Contracting Probe

The investigation proceeds under secrecy as judges examine alleged rigging of public contracts.

Overview

  • Guardia Civil officers detained Antxon Alonso in Vizcaya in the case linked to Leire Díez and alleged irregularities in public awards.
  • Alonso is described in reports as a Servinabar partner and a friend of former PSOE number-three Santos Cerdán.
  • Earlier detentions include Díez and former SEPI president Vicente Fernández, bringing the tally to at least three people held.
  • UCO agents are searching companies tied to Servinabar, including Forestalia’s Zaragoza office and firms in Madrid and Seville.
  • Media accounts diverge on next steps, with some sources saying more arrests could follow while others cite UCO statements that none are planned in this phase.
