A UCO report reveals the exchange of messages between Aldama and Ábalos’ former advisor so that the minister called the Caribbean dignitary to pave the way for his businesses
The alleged corruption plot of the Koldo case spread its tentacles to the other side of the Atlantic. A report from the Central Operational Unit (UCO) incorporated into the summary in which the alleged fraudulent sale of masks to various administration agencies is investigated details that businessman Víctor de Aldama used his “ability to influence” over Koldo García, former advisor to former Transport Minister José Luis Ábalos, to try to do business in the Dominican Republic during the worst of the covid-19 pandemic.
The police document includes several WhatsApp conversations between Aldama and García in which the former urges him in July 2020 for the minister to call the president of the Caribbean country [se acababan de celebrar elecciones y había sido elegido Luis Abinader] to be able to do business. “Call (sic) the fucking president of the RD because you have there a person who, without knowing you at all, has given everything and more.”
