18.11.2025The Day Cerdán's Family Faced Corruption Allegations
Spanish media on November 18 continued its extensive coverage of the 'Caso Begoña,' with renewed scrutiny on Valencian President Mazón for his alleged use of 'hoaxes' in Congress regarding the DANA disaster throughout the morning.

The focus shifted around midday to Zelensky's visit to Spain, highlighting his address to Congress and meetings to secure military aid. Simultaneously, the UCO's detention of the President of the Diputación of Almería for irregular mask contracts also gained traction.

By early afternoon, attention pivoted to the 'Caso Koldo,' with the Supreme Court summoning three former Acciona executives and new UCO reports implicating Santos Cerdán as an 'enlace' between the government and Acciona for alleged public works rigging, involving a 2% kickback. Reports also implicated Cerdán's family in the scheme. This complex corruption investigation dominated the narrative through the evening, alongside Sánchez's announcement of significant aid for Ukraine.
