Overview

  • Former SEPI president Vicente Fernández and ex-PSOE militant Leire Díez were arrested on Wednesday in an operation ordered by the National Court with anticorruption prosecutors.
  • Police sources say businessman Antxon Alonso, linked to Servinabar and to former PSOE organizer Santos Cerdán, was detained in Bizkaia on Thursday.
  • Investigators suspect Servinabar acted as a front to channel illicit commissions to Cerdán, citing a private agreement that allegedly granted him 45% of the company.
  • The UCO is carrying out 19 searches in Madrid, Seville and Zaragoza, including a raid on Forestalia’s headquarters, targeting firms connected to Servinabar.
  • Detainees are expected to be brought before the court on Saturday morning, while PSOE-A’s María Márquez stressed that Fernández is not a party member and has had no government role for years.
