16.10.2025 ⇢ The Day Koldo Remained Free After Refusing to Testify
⌨Spanish media on October 16th primarily focused on the "Koldo case." Early reports anticipated Koldo García's appearance before the Supreme Court, with El Español and La Razón highlighting his likely strategy to remain silent, mirroring Ábalos. Morning coverage detailed Koldo's arrival at the Supreme Court following a UCO report, which implicated him as the "custodian" of Ábalos's finances. By late morning, it was confirmed Koldo refused to declare, and Anticorrupción did not request provisional imprisonment. Afternoon reports widely announced Koldo's release, with the judge noting the money had "not been found" and acknowledging a "growing" flight risk, yet maintaining his freedom. This development mirrored Ábalos's situation from the previous day.
