In connection with the Koldo case, the Supreme Court will try the former Spanish Socialist Minister of Transport, José Luis Ábalos, and the former adviser to Ábalos, Koldo García, who were requested to be tried by a popular jury or jury, a request that has been rejected by the investigating judge of the Supreme Court in the "Koldo case" Leopoldo Puente.

Former Spanish Minister of Transport José Luis Ábalos and former adviser to Ábalos Koldo García have refused to be tried by a popular jury or jury Leopoldo Puente, investigating judge of the Supreme Court in the "Koldo case".

In a car notified this Wednesday, he ruled out the other options. 

He also recalls that on 3 November last he specified "the procedure to be followed" and that neither of them then filed an appeal. 

According to Judge Puente, although the crimes under investigation fall within the competence of the National High Court, as Ábalos is aphorate, the Supreme Court has taken over the case. 

The lawsuit filed by Ábalos's defense attorney to the investigating judge states that the main crimes charged to him can be tried by a popular jury: bribery, influence trafficking and embezzlement. 

According to Carlos Bautista Ábalos's lawyer, there are only two crimes outside the jurisdiction of the popular jury: criminal organization and the use of insider information, although he points out that most crimes fall within the competence of the popular jury.
