Overview

• Spain’s Guardia Civil delivered a patrimonial analysis on October 3–4 alleging repeated cash deliveries to José Luis Ábalos that lack support in the documentation the PSOE submitted to Supreme Court judge Leopoldo Puente.
• The report quantifies €60,270 in cash inflows to Ábalos from 2014–2024, notes a peak in 2020, and highlights that his bank cash withdrawals ceased from 2018 to 2023 despite rising cash receipts.
• Investigators identify Koldo García, his then wife Patricia Úriz, and Ábalos’s son Víctor as custodians of the cash, with €95,437.33 in advances attributed to Koldo not compensated via bank transfers and transfers from Víctor totaling about €56,019.
• Evidence includes envelopes collected at PSOE headquarters on Ferraz, coded references to cash, a June 2019 mismatch where a €826.73 envelope contrasts with a €321.29 party record, and messages tying a €2,000 cash payment to Ábalos’s driver to coordination with Santos Cerdán and the party’s manager.
• The inquiry now centers on the source of the funds and potential illegal party financing, with judicial proceedings in the broader Caso Koldo still active and the party’s accounts potentially facing expanded examination.
