Santos Cerdán owned 45% of one of the main companies in the alleged plot

During a search of Joseba Antxón Alonso Egurrola's home, the Civil Guard's Central Operations Unit (UCO) found a document revealing that former PSOE Organization Secretary Santos Cerdán owned 45% of Servinabar, one of the main companies linked to the alleged public works fraud scheme.

In its report on searches carried out last week at various homes and businesses, the UCO (Central University of Catalonia) stated that at the home of Alonso Egurrolla in Vizcaya, it found "a private deed of sale of shares " between him and Cerdán.

In the deed, dated June 1, 2016, a year after the alleged corruption began, according to investigators, Alonso Egurrolla transferred to Cerdán "1,350 of the 3,000 shares that make up the company ," which represents 45%, Europa Press reports.

Servinabar is one of the companies that the UCO places in the alleged plot of awarding public works in exchange for commissions that Cerdán and the former ministerial advisor Koldo García would have initiated and which the former Minister of Transport José Luis Ábalos would have later joined.

The former Socialist Party Organization Secretary voluntarily resigned from the PSOE on Monday , five days after announcing his resignation following his involvement in the investigation into the "Delorme case," known as the "Koldo case." He also resigned his seat as a deputy , which disrupts the plans of the Supreme Court judge investigating him. This privilege also protected him from a possible arrest or search, but which he renounced upon leaving office.

Yesterday, the PSOE filed its proposal to create a commission of inquiry in Congress to determine, within six months, who is responsible for the case involving the UCO report that implicated the party's current number three, Santos Cerdán.

That "Operation Delorme" into alleged commission payments on the sale of masks and other medical supplies during the pandemic already prompted the launch of another investigative commission in Congress, which closed after six months without even summoning Ábalos and Koldo and without presenting any conclusions.

In parallel, the Senate created another investigative committee focused on the "Koldo case," which is still ongoing and which has included many of the protagonists in the alleged plot. Even the People's Party (PP) is reticent about summoning Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez.

Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez will attend the government oversight session in the Congress of Deputies this Wednesday and answer questions from the parliamentary groups, given the recent resignation of Santos Cerdán due to his involvement in the alleged corruption scheme.
