A judge in Madrid will investigate whether Santos Cerdán gave false testimony to the Senate Committee of Inquiry

The former PSOE Secretary of Organization said he would not contact former ministerial adviser Koldo García from 2021 to 2023, that he did not know that he would act as an intermediary in the purchase of masks, that he had not instructed him to profit from certain companies and that he had not had a business relationship directly or indirectly through third parties.

at a hearing in the Senate Committee of Inquiry into the Koldo case on 30 April 2024.
While PSOE's Secretary of Organization, Santos Cerdán, remains in pre-trial detention, a judge in Madrid has opened an investigation to determine whether he gave false testimony in the Senate inquiry committee on the Koldo case.
 
The judge of Madrid's 24th Examining Court believes that Cerdán did not tell the truth at that hearing on April 30, 2024. Last June, the PSOE's Secretary of Organization resigned and also left the Deputy's Act on the grounds that he allegedly receivedillegal tips in exchange for public works awards.
 
According to the order, to which EFE has had access, the investigating judge has admitted to the proceedings the complaint filed by the ultracatolic organization Hazte Oir against Cerdán for false testimony.
 
The examining magistrate has also addressed Congress to verify whether Cerdán had renounced the Act of Deputies. 
 
According to the car, the difference between what he told the commission of inquiry and reality is "obvious and obvious" in view of the contents of the report prepared by the UCO unit of the Civil Guard. 
 
The judge considers that there are indications that he lied when he said that he had not contacted Koldo García (who was an adviser to the Spanish Ministry of Transport) from 2021 to 2023, that he did not know that he had acted as an intermediary in the purchase of masks, that he had not given instructions to favour certain companies and that he had not had a direct or indirect business relationship.
