Vox to File Embezzlement Complaint Over State-Paid Flights for Flotilla Returnees

The party targets Foreign Affairs over reports the ministry paid tickets for at least 21 Spaniards repatriated after Israeli detention.

Overview

  • Vox spokesperson José Antonio Fúster announced on October 6 that the party will lodge a denuncia for malversación over the government-funded returns of Global Sumud Flotilla participants.
  • The action centers on the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, led by José Manuel Albares, which Vox says financed the flights for Spaniards who took part in the flotilla.
  • La Razón reported that the state assumed the cost of tickets for the first 21 returnees who arrived in Spain after being held by Israeli authorities.
  • Vox’s legal team says the filing could be elevated to a criminal querella once additional documentation is gathered.
  • Fúster also said Vox will pursue a separate complaint related to protests that disrupted the final stage of La Vuelta Ciclista a España.
