Overview
- The UCO filed with the court WhatsApp exchanges between Koldo García and then Canary Islands president Ángel Víctor Torres about unblocking invoices for companies tied to Víctor de Aldama.
- In the chats, García pleaded with Torres to override officials’ objections—writing “If you get it, I let myself be violated by you”—as the UCO notes Aldama paid García about €10,000 monthly.
- Investigators report Soluciones de Gestión received preferential treatment despite written warnings on price and mask quality, with payments later halted over doubts about FFP2 compliance.
- The messages show Torres intervened to hasten a transfer and even proposed a brief meeting with Pedro Sánchez, José Luis Ábalos and Salvador Illa to advance the deal.
- PP leaders have called for Torres to quit; separately, witness Claudia Montes told the Senate that García sent her €1,300 in 2019 on Ábalos’s behalf, alleged harassment, and claimed Ábalos said Sánchez “knew everything.”
