UCO Dossier Details Alleged 2% Kickback Network Tied to Cerdán as Almería Mask Probe Makes Seven Arrests

Investigators describe a commission pipeline routed through Servinabar to Acciona-linked works, relying on intercepts plus financial records.

Overview

  • Guardia Civil places Santos Cerdán as the link between Acciona and Transport, citing covert meetings, banking transfers, company-paid housing and cards, plus payroll ties to relatives.
  • The report estimates at least €6.7 million flowed to Servinabar from Acciona-related projects, with memorandums that set a roughly 2% fee on awarded contracts in several cities.
  • EL PAÍS reports the UCO highlights messages suggesting ex–Roads director Javier Herrero pushed to steer bids and explored changing evaluation rules, allegations he has denied before the judge.
  • The dossier traces early coordination to the 2017 Mina Muga project, describing preministerial contacts and roles by Cerdán, Koldo García and Acciona executives, with activity later extending abroad to Morocco and Gabon.
  • In a separate track, the UCO raided ten sites in Almería, detained seven people including provincial chief Javier Aureliano García, and imposed asset measures, while in Seville SAS interventoras told the court they saw no risk of public fund loss as three SAS managers are summoned as investigados for November 25.
