Two officials of the UCO investigation team of the Civil Guard have today come to the Navarre Parliament's Committee of Inquiry, although they have not answered any questions following the instructions of Supreme Court Judge Leopoldo Puentes. 

The Commission is investigating the public works awarded and financed by the Government of Navarre in the last four legislatures and asked two UCO agents to appear today. 

Adolfo Araiz, spokesman for EH Bildu, was the first to take the floor and asked whether the case that led to the prosecution of Santos Cerdán, José Luis Ábalos and Koldo García was declared secret.

One of them then admits that it is "an honour" to appear before the Commission of Inquiry, but that, following the instructions of Supreme Court Judge Leopoldo Puente, they will not make statements on the case.

They explain that as judicial police they are subordinate to that magistrate and have a duty to obey his orders.
