He suspects that he could have used his minor daughter to camouflage the purchase of real estate in Benidorm
MADRID, 23 Feb. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office points out that Koldo García, the advisor of former minister José Luis Ábalos investigated in the case of alleged bites in the purchase of masks during the pandemic, increased his assets in a “notable” way between 2020 and 2022, by becoming the owner of movable and immovable property whose value could reach 1.5 million euros.
This increase in assets, both for Koldo himself and for his partner and his youngest daughter, “does not correspond to the income from his official activities,” indicates Anti-Corruption, based on the analysis of labor and tax information.
At the same time, the Public Ministry emphasizes that the increase occurs “barely five months after the public awards took place” to the company Soluciones de Gestión.
This is reflected in an order by National Court judge Ismael Moreno, to which Europa Press has had access, which includes the detailed account that the Public Ministry makes in its complaint against the alleged plot.
Anti-Corruption focuses on the increase in cash income in the years after the sale of the surgical material and draws attention to the decrease in cash provisions, “which denotes the possible existence of another financial source of unknown origin.” .
It indicates that Koldo may have used third parties close to his family circle with the possible purpose of hiding, “or at least making it difficult,” for the true ownership of the properties acquired to be known.
The Prosecutor’s Office also observes a substantial increase in its contributions to mortgages and loans as of December 2020, related to the purchase of three properties in Benidorm (Alicante).
He explains that one of them acquired it for 115,000 euros in the name of his best daughter and without the need for a mortgage, of which he paid 11,500 in cash and “there is no cash provision to justify it.”
The other two properties, according to Anticorruption, were paid with four checks in favor of the sellers, using the funds from a bank account in the name of the youngest daughter “where they had been deposited two days before the sale, through nine transfers, until raising the balance of the same to 110,023.35 euros”.
He would have obtained that amount through two alleged loans, one of them from his brother – also investigated – Joseba García, who also made several transfers, as well as with funds contributed by Koldo and his partner, among which there is a donation of 90,000 euros. in cash of which no bank transaction has been found.
Anti-Corruption also maintains that the nine contracts awarded to Management Solutions generated an economic benefit of 5.5 million euros for the president of Zamora CF, Víctor de Aldama, and 9.6 million for Juan Carlos Cueto, the de facto owner of the company. trade.
