Overview
- The UCO dossier, disclosed this week, confirms the Canary Islands government paid €12.2 million to Soluciones de Gestión in 2020–2021.
- At least 837,800 of 2.75 million masks failed FFP2 medical validation, then were treated as surgical items and priced at April 2020 levels so the supplier could be paid, with extra FFP2 units added to complete the amount.
- Intercepted messages cited by investigators show Ángel Víctor Torres driving approvals and payments, while the UCO attributes a €10,000 monthly retainer from Víctor de Aldama to Koldo García for facilitating contracts.
- The police material reports contacts reaching national offices, including Labor on mask certification and efforts involving Transport, Health and even outreach toward the prime minister over antigen and PCR procurement.
- Messages also indicate the Aldama-linked network continued working with Canary Islands officials into late 2021 through Conrado Domínguez, as inquiries remain open and Torres rejects wrongdoing highlighted in the reporting.
