He Magistrate of the Supreme Court Leopoldo Puente, that investigates the alleged Koldo plot of collection of illegal commissions in exchange for public hiring, points to “the idea that More people, physical or legal, in addition to the lords Ábalos, García and Cerdán, They could have worn out With the aforementioned awards, eventuality that, of course, cannot be ruled out at this time. “With this expression, which refers to a legal person that for the context could only be the PSOE, the judge adventures the possibility that the formation whose Ministry of Organization held until just a few days Holy Cerdán It ends up being an investigated In the case.
The order in which the Judge of the High Court justifies the entry into prison without Cerdán bail does not quote the party as such. Only alludes to the acronym PSOE twiceand he does it in relation to the excuses given for his high leader of only a few weeks ago to try to conjure the indications against him.
On the first of these occasions, to question what was stated by Cerdán about his knowledge of the works of works those who spoke of the former minister José Luis Ábalos and the one who was his advisor Koldo García, “that the investigated attributed in the course of his statement to his statement to his Organic condition of the person in charge of the PSOE and the need to relate to the government action. “ For this reason, it would have been interested “for the works that corresponded to locations in which electoral processes would soon have taken place.
The second time in which Puente uses the acronym of the PSOE in its car is the one referring to the excuse given by the Cerdán himself to give justification to the finding in the home of Antxón Alonso, Single Servinabar Administrator-a company awarded public contracts in Navarra-of a private contract that would reveal the acquisition by what was number 3 of the PSOE of 45 percent of the participations of this company.

Importance of the report
Nothing says the magistrate, therefore, of the role of the PSOE in the framework, beyond said notice to navigators about the possibility that his implication as a legal person cannot be “discarded”. This possibility, however, plans on the cause since last June 5, the Central Operating Unit (UCO) of the Civil Guard presented the Cerdán report, with reproduction of several conversations held with Koldo García that put him in the center of the plot, as the magistrate bridge has ratified on Monday.
In fact, different experts consulted by the newspaper valued the announcement made by the President of the Government to commission an external audit as something beyond being a cosmetic strategy against the difficult situation created by the police report. From these areas it was already noticed that “the legal entity is at risk,” since the law forces the parties to adopt previous control measures against corruption that are robust enough.
Judge's warning to the PSOE
At the procedural level, by the PSOE there have already been movements for Try to put a firewall between behaviors that could be attributed to Cerdán and the operation of the party, Also seeking that judicial investigation can contribute to light internal strategies that would have nothing to do with the action of those investigated.
Thus, Judge Puente responded last Friday to a letter that was sent from the party noting that he will carry out an expurg in relation since it is not part in the same.
“Of course, only what is of interest to it will remain in the procedure”. With this forcefulness he responded to the brief in which the PSOE requested this measure, which was presented three days after agents of the Civil Guard Clonas in order of the magistrate himself the corporate email of Cerdán, to point them out then that, not being a part -ni as an accusation or part investigated, for the moment—They are not legitimized to make any request.
“Until now at least this instructor has not found any consistent reason to call her; and said political party has not dealt with the case in any condition, understanding, surely, that It lacks a condition that enables you To do this, ”added the judge, who now points to the possibility that the investigation will be extended to the party as a legal entity.
