Former Minister José Luis Ábalos refers topayments in the amount of  95,437 euros from "undeclared income"in his latest report En addition, he detects an amount that does not correspondtothe documentation sent to Judge   on cash delivered bythe PSOE .

After the analysis, the researchers see their thesis reinforced: "There is undeclared cash income. "These revenues correspond to the time when the facts investigated in the" Koldo case "occurred, when Ábalos was in charge of the Minister of Transport.



The Civil Guard has prepared a key report of the investigation led by Supreme Judge Leopoldo Puente against Ábalos forcrimesof criminal organization and/or bribery , including former senior PSOE officials Santos Cerdán and Koldo García .

UCO admits that "certain payments" correspond to information declared by the PSOE, but adds that "among the evidence analysed are other cash payments made by the PSOE without documentary support or information on the subject.

With regard to this "concordance lack", researchers say, "it is particularly important because it mentions an undeclared source of income and would not be an isolated event".

One of the examples given by the UCO is an envelope addressed to Ábalos, collected by Koldo García in June 2019. According to the PSOE, it should have EUR 321.29 from the box and, according to the handwritten information on the envelope with the PSOE letterhead, it would have EUR 826.73. So the difference would be EUR 505.44.

Agents have explained that "revenue and expenditure appear balanced at the Bank ", but when they take into account some of the payments detected," there is a higher amount of expenditure ".

These payments amount to €95,437, which Ábalos "would not have compensated by bank", an amount which, according to the UCO, amounts to "at least €20,799 in personal expenses from an undeclared source of income".
