The People’s Parliamentary Group asked the Center for National Intelligence (CNI) to confirm whether this was the case Margaret Robles The CNI commissioned “some sort of report, document, memorandum, investigation or data verification” regarding Jose Luis Abalos And his eldest son is among the so-called Koldo case.
In this parliamentary initiative, and in the midst of the exclusivity of EL ESPAÑOL, to which this newspaper had access, the populists submitted a set of written questions to the government, in which they tried to “raise the voice” now that the imprisoned former PSOE leaders “began to sing Traviata.”
The People’s Party calls on the government to confirm whether what was mentioned was true Victor Abalos This is correct. The son of the former minister and former organizing secretary of the Socialist Workers Party confirms that in 2020, during a Halloween party, his father’s wife at the time, Carolina Pearlshas been contacted Adriana Lastra Leaked information against the former Minister of Transport.
Lastra was then deputy secretary-general of the party and a theoretician Number two From socialists. Abalos’ son confirms that this was one of the reasons Pedro Sanchez He then removed his father from all his positions.
In fact, the PP is asking Spanish intelligence to confirm whether the Defense Minister commissioned the National Intelligence Committee to prepare a report on Ábalos when she learned that he was calling on the president to keep this portfolio while Sánchez was contemplating his first government crisis, in July 2021.
Thus the assumption was activated “Navalcarnero clan”which included Ricardo Marwho was then still already director of the Abalos Cabinet Pedro Sorawho served as Minister of State for Transport, “to make the bed”.
The PP also asks whether Mar and Sora were instructed by Sánchez or any member of the government to do so “To control, monitor, prevent or disrupt” Ministerial work of Abalos.
Obstruction of justice?
But the People’s Party’s questions go further than that. The party questions the government Leakage of judicial information It was allegedly carried out by President Sanchez to Abalos During a meeting in Moncloa on September 28, 2023. The same former minister accused Sanchez of informing him that the Public Prosecutor’s Office was investigating Koldo.
Investigations were launched into Abalos’ former assistant as a result Complaint submitted by the Attorney General of the Madrid Assembly A year and a half ago, in March 2022.
The Anti-Corruption Public Prosecution began investigations Administrative solutions For possible violations in the purchase and sale of masks. but He did not file a complaint with the National Court until September 6, 2023Koldo Garcia was charged Victor de Aldama Criminal organizations, money laundering, bribery and influence peddling.
The seriousness of the matter lies in the fact that this complaint included a request to Communications interference.
Instruction Court Order No. 2 of the National Court accepted the complaint on September 8, 2023. Up to that point, “No one can know that Koldo Garcia is under investigation.”.
This means that only 20 days after the start of the first proceedings, the President transferred Abalos “Information he could not know and could not reveal.” Since the secret of the procedure has been announced. Therefore, the President could be guilty of obstruction of justice.
PP also asks “Who passed that information on to the president?” Between September 8 and 28 and why Sanchez decided to inform Abalos. He wonders “whether the president was aware” that obtaining, publishing and disclosing a judicial investigation was considered confidential “It may constitute a crime to disclose judicial secrets.”.
The set of questions also includes questions about Air Europa. PP wonders what role Begonia gomez To save the company after Abalos revealed… Alleged compensation for “good treatment” Granted.
Questions are added about the “blank check” economic offers that Santos Cerdán made to Abalos to buy his silence after the arrest of Koldo Garcia in February 2024.
