Abalos and Koldo Garcia could be imprisoned today and have issued warnings to the Spanish Government
From 10 a.m. onwards, the Supreme Court will decide whether to maintain provisional release or go to prison. In the previous hours, Ábalos has increased pressure on the Government with new messages that are interpreted as warnings.

Former Minister José Luis Ábalos and former adviser Koldo García face the possibility of entering prison today and have initiated a common strategy to warn the Spanish Government.
He has said that there was an alleged meeting between Pedro Sánchez and Arnaldo Otegi to agree on a motion of censure against Mariano Rajoy, and in political circles it has been interpreted as a warning to the Spanish Government about what might happen if he finally goes to prison.
Twenty-four hours before appearing before the judge of the Koldo case in the Supreme Court, Ábalos said that, as Koldo García had done the day before, there had been that meeting, contrary to what Sanchez and Otegi had said, and that they had said it was all a lie.
But Ábalos has taken a step further and responded to Second Vice President Yolanda Díaz for calling her a "scoundrel," with a message on social media suggesting an irregularity in the pandemic: "Perhaps you should let us know if the housing allocated to ministers and their families could be used by other people."
In this context, Judge Leopoldo Puente's summons and the qualification papers submitted last week by the Public Prosecutor's Office and the popular indictments indicate that both have requested high prison sentences for the first trial in the Koldo case.
The popular indictments request 30 years' imprisonmentfor both and have already announced that they will apply for a prison sentence, so it is unknown what the prosecution is going to do, since the prosecution is asking for 24 years' imprisonment for Ábalos and 19 and a half years for Koldo.
Since the Public Prosecutor's intention is to tighten these measures when the risk of escape increases, he would have no choice but to ask for imprisonment or to pay bail to prevent them from escaping justice.
In the case of Ábalos, his imprisonment would not affect his status as a deputy, and he would retain his status as a deputy until a conviction was handed down against him.
De Aldama has testified before the National High Court
Abalos and Koldo play jail, while Victor de Aldama will testify in the National High Court. The charges face a seven-year prison sentence in the Supreme Court for his assistance to the justice system.
De Aldama received a copy on Monday of the dumping of the two mobile phones that were seized to prepare for that hearing, and was summoned in the presence of former Canary Islands President Ángel Victor Torres and now Minister, among others, in response to the report that he paid Koldo 10,000 euros a month for influencing his business.
Koldo Garcia is summoned to the National High Court on Friday, and by then he could be in prison if that is the decision finally taken by the Supreme Magistrate.
