Cerdán will be in the Senate today, but it is not clear whether he will testify or not
Santos Cerdán, former PSOE Secretary of Organization and judicially investigated, will attend the Senate Committee of Inquiry today: he has the right to answer questions or not.
Santos Cerdán, PSOE number three until half a year ago and released from pre-trial detention in November, will be on the Koldo Senate committee today, though it is unclear whether he will testify.
The hearing will take place at 10:00 in the Clara Campoamor Hall. Although Cerdán may be silent, he will have to listen to the questions of the groups, since PP, Vox and UPN exhaust their shifts even when there is no answer.
On that occasion, he denied any legal responsibility for the alleged corruption plot, claimed that Koldo García had never been his guardian, and said that former Minister José Luis Ábalos could demand his return to the PSOE unless he was prosecuted.
More than a year later, in June 2025, Cerdán was formally investigated, resigned as a PSOE deputy and Secretary of Organization and wasplaced in pre-trial detention . He remained in Soto del Real prison until November, the same month that Ábalos and Koldo García also entered that prison.
In brief statements to the press and to Supreme Court Judge Leopoldo Puente, Cerdán said thatthe audios accusing could be manipulated. When he left prison on November 19, he said that "there are many lies" and that "there are many manipulations".
He has repeated several times that he will speak "when he has to", as he stated last Monday in Tafalla (Navarre), when he comes to court for a periodic signature of his.
His wife, Francisca Muñoz, has also been summoned to the commission. The hearing was scheduled for this Monday, but was postponed after a medical report justifying his absence.
