- The UCO highlights messages indicating former roads director Javier Herrero “pressed a lot” in 2019 to move contested tenders forward; he has denied any wrongdoing to the court.
- Following searches of three homes, email and devices, the Supreme Court has imputed former Acciona construction chief Justo Vicente Pelegrini, who is due to appear on December 3.
- In a related Almería investigation known as ‘Caso Mascarillas’, the UCO detained seven people including the provincial council president and carried out ten searches under suspected bribery, embezzlement and money laundering.
