Koldo García He has collaborated in hundreds of cases of investigations of the National Police and the Civil Guard. The reason has been aware of some of these proceedings that ended successfully and that led, for example, the dismantling of organizations dedicated to Trafficking in people. From terrorism to sexist violence, these “missions” earned him to obtain the decoration of the armed institute.
Koldo’s first collaborations with the Civil Guard date back to 1989 in the area of Navarra, according to sources from the protagonist’s environment. In those years, the terror of ET and the exassor of José Luis Ábalos The skin was played to try to provide information related to the members of this terrorist organization. Some tasks that his ex -partner, for the moment, had no knowledge because he was very hermetic. A mutual respect for which his wife also did not ask for explanations.
His work in the private security sector, which is reflected in the working life attached to the Central Operational Unit (UCO) of the Civil Guard in one of his reports, led to be related to a multitude of people and create an expanding network of acquaintances. “Koldo helped everyone who asked”he came to declare before the Supreme Court one of the entrepreneurs who were interrogated by the case that bears the name of the Minister of Transportation.
Of course, he never gained a hard for these interventions. Sometimes he paid things from his own pocket. This attitude of Koldo has become commented by all the people who have been part of his life. So involved was in the world of the FSE that he got the rural sport of the Aizcolari It will enter for the first time with exhibitions in National Police and Civil Guard dependencies of Navarra. A tradition that continued to the lengths of the years.
Some collaborations that he did indistinctly both with the National Police as with the Civil Guard. Even today, he himself has the account of all the investigations in which he has given his support throughout all these years. They are a total of 375 cases. Most of them are those related to gender violence, with 187 interventions. Today, he continues to support many of them and has come to derive cases to his current lawyer, Leticia de la Hoz, to attend to these women who fight to leave and escape from their abusers with whom they have been living for years and receive from vexations to blows.
He offered his safety
One of Koldo’s objectives was to convince women to give the step of denouncing the situation they were suffering and offering them their safety so that they did not perceive their lives. They were in danger. A hand of help and trust. And it is that one of the general tonic is that the victims of abuse do not give the step of denouncing for fear of the reprisals of their aggressors. Founder of an association against bullying in Navarra that later expanded throughout Spain.
He has also collaborated in many operations against human beings. Specifically, Koldo has helped dismantle a total of 14 criminal organizations dedicated to this end. This has been possible thanks to his work as “goalkeeper” in alternate clubs.
Due to this job, which he developed for years, has been able to generate a wide network of acquaintances in this sector. Koldo is included in some WhatsApp groups in which police fight against this scourge participate. Some of the voice notes that have been made public this week were sent to these places where dozens of members of the FSE are included.
The exassor of Ábalos also helped with the Civil Guard units that is responsible for detaining the jihadist terrorists. A figure that is extended to 86 if we talk about the number of Etarras, which fell with the data they contributed to the Spanish authorities. But his work did not stay alone in those groups.
Radical groups
And is that Koldo has collaborated in 32 research on groups of extreme right and 47 related to the extreme left. A narrow cooperation that earned him, in 2018, to receive the cross of the Order of the Merit of the Civil Guard. The Interior Minister of that time was Juan Ignacio Zoido, which reveals that his police successes were out of the political debate. This award praises “the actions and behaviors of extraordinary relief, which result in prestige of the body and interest of the country.” The colonel Francisco José Vázquez He pointed out that this award was produced by Koldo’s collaboration in the fight against the terrorist band ETA since 2009. However, the reason has been able to verify that this help had been lending from decades before.
Despite this, a year after the operation that ended its arrest, in February 2025, it was known that the General Directorate of the Civil Guard opened a file to prohibit the use of this award, of white badge. The final decision corresponded to the current head of the Department of Interior, Fernando Grande-Marlaska.
Koldo presented allegations before the personnel leadership to avoid this situation, since he is being investigated but there is still no condemnation or firm sentence that forces the withdrawal of it. “It is based on an attribution of facts pending a judicial investigation,” he added.
He also defended that it was still soon for his person to have “Undebed the prestige of the Civil Guard Corps”as indicated by the file. “The Civil Guard valued effective, certain, real and meritorious behaviors for the concession of recognition that I proudly carry and intend to continue carrying, in the same way I should assess as certain, real and firm the demerites to withdraw such recognition. Both merits and demerits must be chaired by objective, real, effective and firm criteria,” he claimed.
Koldo’s decoration
A presumption of innocence that was not taken into account to take a measure “Excessive and unjustified” With a “clear lack of adequate motivation” he insisted to defend himself. “It constitutes a practice that generates helplessness and can lead to the nullity of the act,” he said.
Koldo, when these figures of collaborations were not yet known with the State Security Forces and Bodies, defended that it contributed significantly to the strengthening and prestige of the body“.” In addition to having been recognized for my work in favor of peace – which at the time implied an outstanding fight against terrorism and a close collaboration with the State Security Forces and Bodies -, I have other awards, such as the medal of the Regional Community of Navarra and the recognition of the Ertzaintza and the Pamplona Police, which corroborates the positive assessment of my career and my institutional commitment, “he explained in his institutional commitment,” moment.
The surroundings of the exassor of Ábalos ensures that the audios that have been known these weeks are “Out of context” and that has always collaborated to dismantle criminal organizations dedicated to trafficking that had their base in brothels. Many of these women still maintain contact with Koldo García and, in parallel, they thank him for what he did, and still does, for them.
