The statement this Thursday before the judge of Víctor de Aldama has not left anyone indifferent. The businessman, investigated in the Koldo case for alleged comissions from public contracts In the midst of a pandemic, he has pointed out everyone trying to defend himself: among others, the President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez; the secretary of organization of the PSOE, Santos Cerdán; to the chief of staff of the Minister of Finance, María Jesús Montero or to Minister Ángel Víctor Torres during his time as president of the Canary Islands.
All this is enough for Vox to request the indictment of Pedro Sánchez and four of his ministers: Maria Jesus Montero, Angel Victor Torresthe one from the Interior, Fernando Grande Marlaska; and the Ecological Transition and next vice president of the European Commission, Teresa Ribera.
Those of Santiago Abascal They consider that Aldama’s statement has confirmed what the Central Operational Unit (UCO) already noted in a report. “We are facing a true criminal and influence-peddling plot to illegally grant favors to members of the Government, the PSOE and Pedro Sánchez’s family,” summarized Vox’s parliamentary spokesperson, Pepa Millán.
As he added, Sánchez will be able to do “all the international figures he wants” – he is currently in Brazil to participate in the G20 – but his path only has one destination: «the dock«.
Vox, popular accusation in the case, will also request the witness statement of Santos Cerdán to clarify if it is true that he received an envelope with 15,000 euros, as announced by the national legal coordinator of the training, Marta Castro.
«This matter cannot remain in the sphere of Ábalos. Ábalos was the person of absolute confidence of President Sánchez. Sánchez knew all of Ábalos’ actions -Castro has maintained-. “It is unthinkable that all these lines of illegal business would be set up without the President of the Government having knowledge.”
Vox will request the indictment of Sánchez and the ministers for the crimes of organizing a corrupt plot, criminal organization, bribery, influence peddling and money laundering; although it will study if more can be added.
The party’s legal representative has acknowledged that Aldama “could have given more detail of the direct involvement” of Sánchez, but believes that “he has not given little” and what he has provided is enough to request charges. Among these issues he has pointed out the trip of the Venezuelan Delcy Rodríguez to Spain, business in Venezuela or the Rural Spain project.
