The Central Operational Unit of the Civil Guard (UCO) believes that the Minister of Territorial Policy and Democratic Memory, Ángel Victor Torres, "ordered several unpaid payments" to Solutions of Management and Support to Companies SL when he was president of the Canary Islands.

The UCO has sent to the judge investigating the "Koldo case" in the National High Court, Ismael Moreno, a report on the recruitment studies carried out by the Government of the Canary Islands  detailing the efforts made by Koldo García to have the autonomous government hire the company Soluciones de Gestión and, subsequently, to collect 7.8 million unpaid.

According to the researchers, Garcia had "influence" on Torres. To suggest this, they mention that Torres informed former Transport Minister Jose Luis Ábalos that he was "on top of these payments" and that the Canary Islands Government asked him for information on the amount and company he owed.

The report details some of Torres's messages to Garcia, in one of which the current minister tells him to "let him have the day to join the economic leader" and suggests that if he did not solve the problem, he would fire him.

According to the Civil Guard, Koldo García had also spoken frequently with the then Vice-Minister of the Presidency of the Canary Islands, Antonio Olivera, who said that before the award of the contract they discussed the request for kisses and then clarified the details of shipments and payments.

The report submitted to the examining magistrate states thatthe technicians and officials   expressed their dissenting views on these awards.

After learning of the report, Angel Victor Torres's team has confirmed  that the minister "has not committed any crime" and that the "lies"said about him have been condemned . After more than a year of examining his conversations, they have stressedthat"there is no crime, nor will there be any crime."

On the other hand, thePeople's Party  has called for the resignation of Minister Torres, who has said in a statement sent to the media that he has "obtained money for a corruption plot" and therefore cannot remain in office.
