The devices seized from Koldo García They have become the key to this cause of corruption. In fact, from his cell phone came the clue that led the Central Operational Unit (UCO) of the Civil Guard to exploit last Thursday’s operation that resulted in six detainees for crimes of criminal organization, influence peddling and money laundering.
Investigation sources confirm to LA RAZÓN that what was contained in the terminals of José Luis Ábalos’ former advisor was decisive in promoting this latest action, focused on tracking the fate of the bitten millionaires that those investigated would have been distributed with the alleged rigging of public works.
This new line of investigation led to the arrest of Cristian Corvillo (whom researchers highlight his good relationship with Pedro Sánchez); his brother, Rubén Corvillo, and Andrea de la Torre, the latter’s partner of former minister Ábalos. In parallel, the Judicial Police carried out searches in Córdoba, Seville, Valencia and Madrid. Among other points, he agreed to the Adif headquarters (to which at least four information requests have been made in the last two years) and also to the headquarters in Seville of the Azvi Group; one of the construction companies benefiting from the suspicious awards; specifically, tenders for roads, railways and other infrastructure for an amount exceeding 165 million euros.
Corvillo’s role
The sources consulted by this medium explain that the objective now is to compare the destination of the funds managed by Corvillo, identified in previous UCO reports for his “intimate” relationship with Víctor de Aldama and Koldo García. It should be remembered that Corvillo already appears in the first police reports due to the emails that were exchanged with the commission agent of the plot in relation to the purchase of medical supplies.
Likewise, it is recorded that on May 12, 2022, MTM 180 Capital (Aldama company under suspicion for having allegedly diverted funds) and Fertinvest Consulting (linked to César Moreno, partner of the commission agent) transmitted securities to several companies, including Corvillo Energy, for an amount of 1,500 euros. Specifically, Corvillo (a member of the PSOE of Córdoba) confirmed in his recent appearance as a witness in the hydrocarbon fraud case investigated by Santiago Pedraz, that He knew Koldo and Ábalos from the party and that he had visited the latter “many times.”
Thus, one of the unknowns that he has to clear up when he appears before the investigator of this case is, precisely, what his true relationship was with José Luis Ábalos. In fact, Corvillo also appears in the negotiations for the purchase of the chalet that the former minister enjoyed in exchange, presumably, for having opened the doors of other ministries of the Government of Pedro Sánchez to them. help them with their hydrocarbon businesses.
Money laundering with real estate
However, if something stands out about the figure of Corvillo, it is his alleged role in conceal the final destination of the bites that would have been distributed with the Transport tenders. The Judicial Police opened this line of investigation thanks to the material that Koldo García hid in his home in Alicante and that the agents seized when they arrested him in February 2024. On those hard drives he had eight recordings, among them of Santos Cerdán, in which they spoke of a distribution of commissions for awards to companies that Víctor de Aldama ended up identifying in the Supreme Court.
Now, almost three years after having seized this entire arsenal of evidence, the UCO continues analyzing and discovering information that leads it to investigate through money laundering. Precisely, the arrest of Andrea de la Torre (who took advantage of her right not to testify) occurred due to suspicions that she had laundered commission money through the purchase of a “loft” in the Vallecas neighborhood. The partner of the former Minister of Transport appears as administrator of Galvanostudio S. La signature registered in Rivas, the Madrid town where he lived with Ábalos until he went to prison for his sentence to 24 years in prison with the first trial of this plot.
As this newspaper has learned, the alleged way to whiten these “bites” was with the acquisition by the woman from Malaga, in April 2024, of an apartment with a parking space for 125,000 euros in the Ensanche de Vallecas. The way the purchase was financed caught the attention of the agents. A first payment of 7,500 by transfer from your accounts and the remaining 117,500 euros through a bank check. He did not need to sign any mortgage. She has always claimed that she had financial help from her family for this real estate operation.
