UCO Report Flags Cash Envelopes to Ábalos That Clash With PSOE Accounts

The UCO has filed a 300-page report to the Supreme Court detailing unrecorded cash deliveries.

Overview

  • The patrimonial analysis cites WhatsApp messages, photographed envelopes and party staff chats pointing to cash pickups at PSOE headquarters using coded terms such as “chistorras” and “lechugas.”
  • PSOE’s submissions list €19,638.97 in expense liquidations to José Luis Ábalos (2017–2021) and €12,744.73 to Koldo García, but the UCO says part of the cash lacks corroborating documentation.
  • Investigators attribute €95,437.33 in expenditures to Ábalos with no banking trace and note he stopped withdrawing cash from 2018 to 2023 as identified cash incomes rose.
  • A June 2019 message chain indicates a €2,000 cash payment to Ábalos’s chauffeur required intervention by José Luis Ábalos or Santos Cerdán with then‑party manager Mariano Moreno, contradicting Cerdán’s earlier claim of no role in expenses.
  • The PP demands bank withdrawal receipts and full documentation or it will deem a party “contabilidad B,” while the PSOE rejects illegal financing claims and the Supreme Court investigation remains open.
