The Congress of Deputies has thus responded to the request made by the investigating judge of the 'Koldo case', since, according to Judge Leopoldo Puente, the figures in the current accounts of the socialist leader did not correspond to the information provided by the Treasury.

The Congress of Deputies has informed the Supreme Court that it paid 751,421.56 euros between salary and daily subsistence allowance to former Minister of Transport José Luis Ábalos between 2014 and 2024. According to the investigating judge of the Koldo case, Leopoldo Puente, the figures in the bank accounts of the socialist leader did not correspond to the information provided by the Treasury.

According to Treasury information, this is almost the same amount as the report of the Civil Guard's UCO  Central Operational Unit (751,421.57 euros).

The Civil Guard warned that the current accounts of Ábalos included revenue of 79,841.74 euros in that period. 

It was that dance of figures that prompted the investigating judge to ask Congress for information. 

The information sent by Congress also includes travel expenses totalling 2745.26. 

The Civil Guard also detected conflicting data on donations from Ábalos to the PSOE, which, according to the Treasury, donated 44 729.29 euros to the party, but the bank accounts reflected only 8,471.36 euros, so the investigating judge requested information from the PSOE.
