Overview
- UPN has cited María Chivite, Uxue Barkos, Migration Minister Elma Saiz, Santos Cerdán’s sister and multiple Servinabar 2000 employees to testify before a Senate investigative committee.
- The Senate panel has already taken evidence from adviser Koldo García, his brother, his former partner and Servinabar owner Antxon Alonso.
- PSN, EH Bildu and Geroa Bai used their majority in the Navarra Parliament to block the regional probe, prompting UPN to relocate the hearings to the Senate.
- Investigators are examining an alleged €600,000 kickback scheme in public works contracts linked to former PSOE organization chief Santos Cerdán and his network.
- The scandal has widened cracks in the ruling coalition, with the PP demanding early elections and partner parties calling for stricter anti-corruption reforms.
