The Koldo plot sought “contacts” in the State Society of Industrial Participations (SEPI), as can be seen from the audios that work in the summary and those who have had access. Specifically, the Civil Guard commander charged in the proceedings, Rubén Villalba, asked the ministerial ex -advisor for the head of security of the entity that would supply the ranks of the PSOE.
“Hey Koldo, in the SEPI we have any contact? Because they tell me that the Chief of Security is a former municipal police here from Madrid who He was previously head of security of the Socialist Party. Well, you tell me something, “says a voice note from Villalba located in one of Koldo García’s terminals. The commander, who had a relationship of trust with the right hand of Ábalos, did not pronounce any specific name, but his story fits with the profile of Luis Miguel Fernández Aparicio.
This terrorism and counterintelligence expert is a person very close to the president of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, since adolescence, since both played together at the Basketball Student Club. Aparicio entered the Municipal Police of Madrid in 2001 and abandoned it in leave in 2017; year he assumed the Security Directorate of the PSOE headquarters, in Ferraz, coinciding with Sánchez’s return to the General Secretariat of the party.
From Ferraz to the SEPI
In March 2020, in the first measures the pandemic, Sanchez appointed him Head of Security of the SEPIorgan that played a key role in these years as it managed the rescue of companies such as Plus ultra (of which a judicial expertise determined that it did not meet all the requirements to receive the injection of 53 million euros) or Air Europa, a signature closely linked to the Koldo plot and, specifically, to Víctor de Aldama, to whom he hired that time as a consultant.
In that context, Villalba asked Koldo García about his contacts in the SEPI and, more specifically, for the Head of Security; position that from 2020 has Fernández Aparicio. It is an audio that consists of Monday, August 22, 2022, so, to date the voice note of that date, it occurred after the departure of José Luis Ábalos from the Ministry of Transportation and, therefore, of which it was his right hand.
In fact, the messages that the plot were exchanged in 2020 with Koldo García and José Luis Ábalos in the framework of the rescue of Air Europa. Communications maintained then show that Aldama and Javier Hidalgoin his condition this last owner of the airline, pressed the government through Koldo to inject an initial fertilizer of 435 million euros. In the negotiations, according to the messages seized, they were involved Pedro Saura, then Secretary of State for Infrastructure, Transportation and Housing and current President of Correos; The former Minister of Economy, Nadia Calviño, and the vice president of the SEPI, Bartolomé Lora.
“Koldo, you don’t love me anymore”
The audio sent by Villalba is part of the total 20,000 files that they worked on three phones and a recorder of Koldo García and that the Supreme Court has just provided to the parts of the process. It is a material that both its legitimate owner and the rest of the accused leaders claimed after almost a year and a half of analysis and that includes both the audios already analyzed that Koldo recorded and messages exchanged with their contacts; mainly voice notes.
Precisely, one of the most appears in these files is Commander Villalba. In fact, There are few voice notes detected in which the accused command reproaches Koldo who has changed friends on the occasion of his brilliant ascent in the PSOE. “You don’t love me anymore. Since you’re in Acapulco, sure you’re surrounded by “pibonacos” And you don’t remember your friends. You don’t give me news, with your friends businessmen (…) But life is very long. When you want a friend, you tell me, that I will always accept you as a friend, “he says in one of the messages.
His link with Commander Villalba
In another of them he reiterates his change of circle of friendships. “Do not worry that I will go as I had committed to you. What happens is that I do not know if I am going to share a few days with my friend or with a stranger because since I am not an entrepreneur and I cannot facilitate you business contracts because I I am a mindundi.An official without authority or anything“He said in another message.
It should be remembered that Villalba is charged in the proceedings for allegedly perceived 2,000 euros per month of the plot in exchange for providing safe phones and making sweeps in their offices. The messages seized to Koldo show that both had a very close relationship, coming Villalba on many occasions to ask them personal and family matters. However, these voice notes follow A change of attitude DE Koldo García who in just eight months went from the PSOE chauffeur to the right hand of Ábalos.
“Pichita Bravayou do not remember my? Not a friend call, how you are or how life is doing. As I am not an entrepreneur or I can generate business, I can not generate money, that’s why you don’t talk to me. You meet your friend Pepe (probably allusion Pepe Ruz builder), who see him as a fucking mother. Moreover, that’s what you have to do. You have to be a pit bull. A sponsorship. But as I do not give you anything or I am going to meet you your sexual needs, you no longer want friends like me. Now you are going to ride on a plane you are going to Mexico a week to live the father’s life but your little friend stays here, “he snapped.
