The drip of rumors and articles on websites considered “pseudomedios” by the government It ceased on Thursday, when the secret that weighed on the last report delivered by the Central Operating Unit (UCO) of the Civil Guard in the Supreme Court was raised and expected was over José Luis Ábaloshe would deliver his deputy minutes. His delay in doing so still raised nervousness in socialist ranks
The investigators had taken their time to deliver to the Judge of the Supreme Court Leopoldo Puente a thorough report with what was found in February last year at the devices intervened to Koldo García Izaguirre, the advisor who at least so far It gave name to a corruption case that seemed reduced to the scope of former minister Ábalos. But the 490 pages written by the Civil Guard give margin to go much further. They date back to 2013 where, through the Socialist Party of Navarra (PSN), Santos Cerdán and Koldo García began a relationship that has now been exposed and that, in addition, endorses the reference that the commissioner Víctor de Aldama made to a company, acts, already an alleged payment of 15,000 euros for the brand new ex -number three of the PSOE, when he decided to collaborate with justice, which allowed him to be released.
The report is even allowed to remember the message that Cerdán and Koldo García were crossed in the 2014 primaries, in relation to putting ballots by two absent affiliates, which has given rise to sow doubts about the result of the socialist consultation to the militancy. From there, the agents place in 2015 the beginning of a plot that investigates as a criminal organization. Among the messages intervened one in which Koldo wonders: “If I get works, how much is paid to get and how I pay”.

It was in the folder “Themes with Antxon”, which is identified as Joseba Antxon Alonso, Unique Administrator of Servinabar, the company that formed a temporary union of companies with Actiona to manage a potassa mine and that it is believed that it was used to disconnect the benefits that the energy delivered to Koldo García, with “full knowledge “ by Santos Cerdán, that “I would have acted as a mediator of them
Only from acting the “Economic Contribution” would rise to 620.000 euros, of those who 550.000 euros They are associated with two awards in Murcia (Soterramiento of the Railway Network of Murcia and the Pulpí-Vera section of the High Speed Mediterranean Corridor) and another 70,000 were not related to any specific file. “Other. 450.000 They are claimed by Koldo García and Ábalos for three other awards to the same company in Logroño, Sevilla and Sant Feliu de Llobregat (Barcelona). Among the works under suspicion there are also some in Asturias and Teruel.
From Madrid
As the practice had given such good results in Navarra they take it to Madrid when they are promoted. Santos makes Ábalos hire Koldo as a driver and then as an advisor to the Ministry of Development, after transport (Mitma). “Even when Koldo became organically depending on Ábalos in June 2018, Santos Cerdán maintained ancestry on him. So much so that, without having any charge in the Mitma or the Executive, he continued to receive Koldo's news about ACCIONA Public Hiringand transferred certain indications to this for their achievement, “says the researchers.
The key in the Ministry of Transport was the tenders corresponding to the General Directorate of Highway already Adif. In front were, respectively, Javier Herrero and Isabel Pardo de Veraboth, according to the report, dotted with the bite investigated, by participating in the distribution of awards, to the point that at a given time in a conversation Cerdán shows his concern to know that the intention of the then Secretary of State for Infrastructure and Transportation, Pedro Saura, was Cesarlos.
In the audio the former secretary of Socialist Organization is heard with a “You can't charge the one you have there, which is going to tell what there is” Before the threat of blacksmith's dismissal. Both he and Koldo agree that “he has been seen from afar” to unlock the tender of the Seville Centennial Bridge. In the end Saura was appointed in front of Paradores and now presides over mails.
Among the audios and messages that Koldo García kept and that the researchers consider significant to prove the “discretion with which works were awarded in Mitma“Figure one of the advisor in which he” told Ábalos that he was going to give the guid They would give an award to Aldama that allowed him to cover some expenses. “In another, Koldo comments that he had” indicated to Isabel Pardo de Vera that of five tenders gave him two and the rest was decided“, y Ábalos replies “to talk to Santos before deciding anything”circumstance that the UCO stands out, because Cerdán “did not hold any charge within the government, being only secretary of Territorial Coordination of the PSOE.”
In addition, at a certain moment Koldo facilitates the PSOE Management of Herrera's contact to pay the “tax”, which has been related in some way to an alleged illegal financing of the party, although if it is declared to the Treasury, it would not have to raise problems. However, throughout the report there are several formulas that the agents use to imply that part of the charged commissions would be allocated to the PSOE and hence the supervision of Cerdán, which was in charge of “manage payments “.
Two operational
The UCO affirms that “two operational seem to be differentiated, one associated with Cerdán, who would be in charge of managing payments and would not be reproach, and another apparently disconnected from Cerdán, through which Koldo García would have supposedly profited, for awarding works to other companies, having generated this extreme 'fear and concern' In the then Secretary of Territorial Coordination of the PSOE. “From there the report suggests that that is why Pedro Sánchez would have dismissed José Luis Ábalos as secretary of organization of the PSOE and Minister of Transport.
Already outside the government, there is a conversation between Koldo and Cerdán in which the former insists that they are paid to Ábalos At least 150,000 euros so that it can “take off the ex -wife.” The former socialist director replied: “No, no. I'm going for everything, I'm going to ask for everything.” A year earlier, on January 21, 2021, the two and Ábalos had spoken on the phone of the amounts that were pending to perceive.
As if Cerdán already knew what was going to happen this week, he sent to silence the exassor of Ábalos, when he talked about bites, which for the UCO means “a clear intention to preserve discretion.” At any given time they told them: “Do not talk high and write it on a paper and then break it “. He then asked about his assets, in reference, the agents believe, if he had charged an entrepreneur, because he also commented that he had reached him “Noise” from Aragon, Euskadi and Andalusia.
