Koldo García He did not stop working when he left the Ministry of Transport. José Luis Ábalos’ ex -asor spent several months on the payroll of businessman Manel Sallés, who is one of those investigated by a plot of hydrocarbons. Within these functions he came to travel to Colombia to fix some issues. “I did my homework here”he confessed in a WhatsApp message to which the reason was accessible.
Ábalos and Koldo left the Ministry in the summer of 2021. Subsequently, the Civil Guard located several income in the current exchoper account. A money he received from March 4, 2022 until July 4 of that same year.
The value of them ranged between 5,000 and 1,950 euros. His position was the consultant for this company, which is based in the Barrio de Salamanca de Madrid. Sallés himself acknowledged before the Supreme Court that knew Ábalos Ya Koldo: “I have a friendship, not frequent”he said about his contacts with the former Minister of Transportation.
The investigation of the National Court of Judge Santiago Pedraz on the plot of hydrocarbons has given a new impulse with the incorporation of WhatsApp messages of the plot of the masks that Ismael Moreno instructs. Many of the conversations were already known but others are novel.
Precisely, within these unpublished proceedings are several of the communications that Koldo maintained with Sallés. They date back to December 12, 2021 when they no longer worked in transport with Ábalos.
“Very good I feel upset but I don’t have much coverage hereE says the boss that if everything can be fixed for Tuesday Instead of Wednesday since he has to wait ten days later for the signing of the entire operation of the houses since we have a trip to Cuba and has to sign after ten days, “the exchoper told the businessman who was going to be his employer a few months later.” Hi Koldo. Tomorrow I comment and tell you, “he replied.
Next, the ex -mast of Ábalos raised that they were “frondo”. “We are in Colombia and we return to Spain only for that subject. I already did my homework here, so you know,” Koldo clarified. “Tomorrow I tell you friend, but everything is going well,” Sallés said.
Also, the right hand of the former minister replied: “It is that the other is pressed that you cannot live like this there is no way to do things.” A phrase with which the exchange of messages between the two ended.
However, two days later, on December 14, 2021, Koldo sent Sallés the National Identity Document of José Luis Ábalos and of Jaime Gustavo Casal Ardines. There was no explanation or more messages that day. Four days later, the exassor of Ábalos sent a bank document, with these two men as headlines, who certifies that he was missing 6,126.02 euros of a mortgage for a bass in Valencia.
The Civil Guard intercepted a month later, on January 19, 2022, a conversation where the businessman assured Koldo that he already had his employment contract. That same afternoon, Sallés sent the work documentation of the Transport Advisor, who planned to collect an amount per year of 30,000 euros.
