A fresh take on the perceived corruption case involving the PSOE protagonists
Power Struggle Behind Cerdán's Fall: Politicians and Business Leaders in Infrastructure Sector Implicated
In an exposé that's shaken the political landscape, the Civil Guard has brought light to a suspected bribery scheme involving public works contracts. Santos Cerdán, a key PSOE figure, is at the heart of the investigation, with his alleged connection to kickbacks totaling 620,000 euros. The fallout has left Pedro Sánchez, the nation's Prime Minister, in the hot seat.
The Alleged Commission Handler: Santos Cerdán
With a political career dating back almost three decades, Santos Cerdán has had his fair share of triumphs, helping the Socialist Party of Navarre reclaim power in 2019. But the shine has faded, as he now finds himself at the center of a corruption scandal. The investigation points directly at Cerdán as the man orchestrating the receipt and distribution of commissions, a role he is vehemently denying.
Koldo García: A Key Link in the Chain
Koldo García's name has been making headlines not just for this incident, but a previous one as well - the now infamous 'Koldo case'. This scheme involved the alleged windfall from the sale of masks during the pandemic. Both José Luis Ábalos and businessman Víctor De Aldama were implicated in this earlier incident. The latest kickback case stems from the 'Koldo case', as investigators discovered that the commissions weren't limited to masks alone.
García is seen as the linchpin of the entire operation, serving as the intermediary between businessmen seeking contracts and the administration. With numerous recorded conversations at his disposal, García has been instrumental in unraveling the scheme.
José Luis Ábalos: The Partner in Crime?
Former Minister of Transport, José Luis Ábalos has been embroiled in controversy since last year, due to his involvement in the 'Koldo case'. His close relationship with García, evident in numerous judicial investigations, including this latest one, has raised eyebrows. It's been alleged that Ábalos and García reviewed together the amounts owed to them and specific allocations.
Aldama: From Masks to Public Works
Businessman Víctor Gonzalo de Aldama Delgado is a familiar face, as he too played a role in the 'Koldo case'. In that scheme, Aldama was considered the 'corrupting link' between García and Ábalos. However, their relationship didn't end there, and it continues to be a focus in this new investigation.
The Common Thread: Power and Corruption
At the heart of this scandal is a web of power, ambition, and corruption, implicating politicians, businessmen, and even the Prime Minister himself. While Cerdán, García, Ábalos, and Aldama are key players, investigations are ongoing, and new names continue to surface, keep your eyes on this unfolding narrative. This isn't just a case of political intrigue; it touches the heart of the nation, raising questions about the integrity of those entrusted with the reins of power.
In the ongoing investigation, Santos Cerdán, a key figure in the Socialist Party of Navarre and the alleged commission handler, denies his role in distributing kickbacks totaling 620,000 euros, implicating him in the corruption scandal that has reached the Prime Minister, Pedro Sánchez. The latest report, stemming from the 'Koldo case,' suggests that commissions weren't limited to masks alone, but extended to public works contracts as well, raising concerns about the general-news landscape in politics.
