The judge of the National High Court investigating the 'Koldo case' will today take a statement as accused to former Adif President Isabel Pardo de Vera and former Road Director Javier Herrero .
Judge Ismael Moreno charges them with a crime of fraud in the award of public works in exchange for a tip, both of which are investigated for five offences: membership of a criminal group, bribery, trafficking in influence, prevarication and embezzlement of public funds.
At first, Judge Moreno opened an investigation against Pardo de Verafor allegedly employing the former partner of José Luis Ábalos (Jessica Rodriguez) in two public companies (Ineco and Tragsatec), accusing him of trafficking in influence and embezzlement, and summoning him to testify on 1 July.
On the contrary, following the latest report by the UCO unit of the Civil Guard that led to the imprisonment of Santos Cerdán, he postponed Pardo de Vera's statement to the present day.
He also added charges against Pardo de Vera and charged Herrero, and ordered the search of their homes on June 26.
Examining magistrate No. 2 of the National High Court investigates whether Pardo de Vera and Herrero helped the former Minister of Transport, José Luis Ábalos, through his adviser Koldo García, in making the awards.
