21.06.2025 ⇢ Day the Corruption Trio Turned on Each Other
⌨

The UCO expanded its operations by entering both PSOE headquarters at Ferraz and the Transport Ministry to clone email accounts belonging to Cerdán and Ábalos. This escalation followed court orders demanding immediate delivery of documents linking Cerdán to the corruption network's key company.

The corruption trio began fracturing as Koldo, Ábalos, and Cerdán exchanged accusations ahead of their Supreme Court appearances. By afternoon, PSOE officials publicly acknowledged their fear, with Minister Morant admitting they were "scared" by the actions of the three men they now called "scoundrels."

Sánchez retreated to Moncloa for crisis management, holding a mysterious four-hour meeting with Catalonia's Illa that fueled speculation about succession planning. Internal pressure mounted for a government reshuffle as party members prepared for additional audio recordings to surface. The raids worsened Sánchez's position with coalition partners, while investigations revealed nearly 30 contracts now under suspicion in the expanding corruption network.
