UCO Files Detail Koldo García Funding Ábalos’s Personal Expenses, Including Tiffany Jewelry and Luxury Travel

Investigators say the WhatsApp trove details a cash‑run system that routed gifts and payments through trusted handlers.

Overview

  • The Guardia Civil delivered WhatsApp exchanges, invoices and a patrimonial analysis to the Supreme Court that show García covered gifts, flights and hotels for the former minister and his circle, including a €2,450 Tiffany bracelet paid €900 in cash and €1,550 by card.
  • The financial review cites about €95,000 in Ábalos spending with no banking trace and identifies García, Patricia Úriz and Víctor Ábalos as custodians who moved cash, executed transfers and tracked accounts.
  • Messages record coded references to cash such as “folios”, “chistorras” and “morados”, along with trips to PSOE headquarters in Ferraz to collect envelopes and the submission of expenses to Congress, which investigators flag as potential undeclared income streams.
  • Documented outlays include flowers for Carolina Perles on Valentine’s Day, payments and accommodation for Jésica Rodríguez, transfers linked to Andrea, and family support disbursements handled through García.
  • A separate intimate case file contains explicit chats, requests for sexual enhancers and booking arrangements for multiple women, while a woman identified as Rosalía told La Razón she denies any wrongdoing.
