The magistrate of the Supreme Court Leopoldo Puente, who investigates José Luis Ábalos for his implication in the plot of the acquaintance Koldo casehas given green light to the fact that the parts personally in the case can access certain information that the Civil Guard used to elaborate the. Among these data, there are data on the “intimate life” of Ábalos, such as private messages, so the instructor has decided to include it in a piece of “sensitive information” and limit their knowledge to the lawyers, forcing the necessary consultations in the Secretariat of the Court with the aim of avoiding leaks.
The Central Operating Unit (UCO) of the Armed Institute concluded in its report delivered to the Supreme Court last week that Ábalos spent about 95,000 euros without bank justification, which makes the agents of their origin doubt. In the document, the agents described a dynamic by which the one who was an advisor to Ábalos, and even advanced private expenses of their boss, such as the reserve of train and plane bills or the payment of accommodation and restaurants from Ábalos. And to justify your conclusions. In view of this report, the investigating judge has summoned again to Ábalos Ya Koldo García on October 15 and 16, respectively.
The UCO has contributed to the high court a USB with the evidence to these references, distributed in two folders called “interest of interest” and “support with affectation to the intimate life of the investigated [José Luis Ábalos] and third parties. ”According to the Civil Guard in a trade on October 7, the first files would be messages that would not affect the personal sphere of the former minister, as well as documents and notes of interest; while private documents have been encompassed in the second folder.
Due to the personal nature of some of the documents, the Supreme Instructor Magistrate has agreed to put limits on their access to avoid filtration and the affectation of third parties not involved in the criminal process. In this way, while the “interest” archives can be copied by the parties personally in the case and taken from the high court, those related to the private life of Ábalos have been included in a separate piece, which can only be consulted in judicial headquarters, at least, until the opening of oral trial is declared.
On the other hand, the UCO has warned that it has detected an “arithmetic error” in the sum of the expenses related to the transport and accommodation of Ábalos on the occasion of different personal meetings. In the report he pointed out that these displacements “meant a total disbursement of at least 4,975.65 euros”, although now he points out that the correct figure would be 4,421.95 euros. That implies a slight reduction that expenses without banking origin would not be 95,437.33 euros, but 94,883.63 euros, he says.
