UCO searches the headquarters of Tubos Reunion in Bilbao
Agents of the Central Operational Unit (UCO) of the Civil Guard search the headquarters of Tubos Reunidos in Bilbao as part of an undercover piece of the 'Leire case'. Agents have moved to the company's premises on the order of the judge of the Audiencia Nacional Santiago Pedraz.
For the time being, the exact reasons for the registration and the scope of the documentation sought by the investigators have not been disclosed, as the proceedings are under investigation.
Tubos Reunidos is one of the leading industrial companies in the Basque Country and has its registered office in Bilbao, specializing in the manufacture of welded steel tubes for energy, petrochemical or industrial sectors.
The judicial investigation remains open and further details of this action by the Civil Guard and its connection to the 'Leire case' are expected in the next few hours.
