21.07.2025 ⇢ The Corruption Unfolds, Officials Grounded
⌨
Spanish media continued its extensive focus on two major corruption investigations. The 'Montoro case' deepened in the morning, with Anticorrupción alleging the use of front men to conceal illicit assets and reports linking millions from Madrid's government to his company, also implicating Catalá's son. Further details emerged about "dirty war" files and dangerous audios concerning Rafael Catalá, along with accusations of the PP "selling" the Official State Gazette. Concurrently, the 'Koldo case' escalated significantly in the afternoon. Courts withdrew passports and prohibited two former high-ranking Transport officials, Isabel Pardo de Vera and Javier Herrero, from leaving Spain. Pardo de Vera reportedly testified to Koldo's insistence regarding public works adjudications, despite denials of wrongdoing from both.
