Overview
- Spain’s Guardia Civil delivered a roughly 285–300 page patrimonial analysis to Supreme Court judge Leopoldo Puente in the ‘Caso Koldo’ probe.
- The document records €19,638 paid to José Luis Ábalos in cash by the PSOE between 2017 and 2021, sometimes in envelopes, and flags undocumented cash deliveries.
- Investigators describe a coded vocabulary used by Koldo García, Patricia Uriz and Ábalos — such as “chistorras,” “soles,” “lechugas” and “folios” — to reference cash, which they view as concealment.
- The UCO identifies more than €95,000 in expenditures without a banking trace and estimates about €20,000 as undeclared income, findings that remain under judicial review.
- PSOE leaders say party accounts are audited and lawful and that cash payments were expense reimbursements, while PP figures demand political consequences and Ábalos denies taking undeclared cash or using “folios” as code for money.
