The judge of the National High Court(AN) investigating the 'Koldo case' has denied the Navarre Parliament the documentation requested by the latter for the committee ofinquiry because "the proceedings in the case are reserved".

As the Supreme Court has done, Judge Ismael Moreno has agreed in an order "not to provide the applicant with the information requested on the facts investigated in these preliminary proceedings".

Judge Moreno explains that the Criminal Procedure Actstates that "summary proceedings shall be reserved and shall not be public until the opening of oral proceedings". Moreno has the support of the Public Prosecutor's Office in his decision.

"In view of the reserved nature of judicial proceedings for the parties involved in criminal proceedings affecting the fundamental rights of persons under investigation in such proceedings, a copy of them cannot legally be provided to third parties who are not involved in the proceedings."

The Navarre Parliament asked the judge to provide him with a series of reports before 15 September for the Commissionof Inquiry  "to examine tenders and awards for works carried out or financed by the Government of Navarre during the last four legislatures". 

In particular, the President of the Foral Chamber, Unai Hualde, asked the instructor for a copy of a report given to him by the Central Operational Unit of the Civil Guard (UCO) in February 2024, as well as another report from the specialized unit last October.

In addition, the alleged intermediary of the plot, Victor de Aldama, also requested a copy of the statement made last November at the National High Court prior to his release. 

And a copy of the letter submitted by De Aldama himself "concerning the distribution of commissions and territorial distribution of commissions offered to public officials in the award of public works".
