The Popular Party of Madrid chaired by Isabel Díaz Ayuso has included in its box the judicialization of the Koldo case which, in the last few hours, has already led to more than a dozen arrests – highlighting that of Koldo García, former advisor to the former socialist minister José Luis Ábalos- for the alleged use of a front company to fraudulently obtain contracts at a time of emergency in the midst of a pandemic. A shock after the “harassment” that, they have always denounced, the president of the Community has had to suffer due to the mask case in which her brother participated in the middle of the pandemic.
“There is a corruption plot that affects ministries, autonomous communities and has had, to begin with, 20 detainees.” (…) “A plot in the hands of a brothel doorman who, normally, later becomes an advisor to a minister and ends up an advisor to Renfe,” Ayuso brandished at the start of the weekly plenary session in the Madrid Assembly.
Some attacks on the PSOE that, before a smiling popular bench like rarely, Ayuso has finished by reminding the PSOE-M spokesperson, Juan Lobato, that “if everything that happens to the Community of Madrid is my responsibility, everything that happens to it to the Government is Sánchez’s responsibility”. “They go through life with a supposed moral superiority when what they have is an immense ethical inferiority,” he declared, beginning the mascletá of applause from his deputies.
As various cadres of the regional PP have recalled in recent hours, the complaint filed by the Popular Parliamentary Group in the Madrid Assembly in March 2022 transferred suspicions towards Management Solutions and Business Support to the Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office. go from a turnover of zero euros in 2019 to the 53.13 million it obtained in 2020, which was related to three contracts processed through the emergency procedure for anti-covid material.
The investigation into these events has led to the arrest of a former advisor to former Minister José Luis Ábalos, Koldo García Izaguirre, and the president of Zamora CF, Víctor Aldama, whom investigation sources consulted by Europa Press link to the company Soluciones de Gestión and Business Support.
It was Ayuso’s number two, Alfonso Serrano, who in March 2022, made official the transfer of the evidence to the Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office to investigate the Government for these three contracts related to former Minister Ábalos and another dozen suspicious awards during the pandemic for 326 millions of euros.
A counterattack against the central government that diverted a good part of the resources of the PP of Madrid to the investigation of the emergency contracts signed by the central government during the pandemic and that, after what was seen today in the Assembly, has more than met the objectives .
