The trial of former Spanish Minister José Luis Ábalos, his former adviser Koldo García and businessman Victor de Aldama has continued today in the Supreme Court, where they have received testimony from witnesses on the management of expenses and the internal functioning of the PSOE.

The former wife of Koldo Garcia, Patricia Uriz, has stated that the PSOE headquarters in Ferraz was "very strict" in making the refunds of expenses, that they always demanded tickets and vouchers, and that the payments were made "in cash". According to her testimony, the expenses were recorded in the spreadsheets and then presented together with the receipts to receive the refund.

Uriz has also denied using the codified language that appears in the messages investigated by the Civil Guard, in which they allegedly used terms such as "jokes", "suns" or "lettuces" to refer to money, which, according to him, do not correspond to their way of expressing themselves.

During the day, other witnesses have also explained the usual dynamics of cash payments, the systems for dividing the expenses of the Ministry and the party and the alleged operations around Aldama. A witness has also refused to testify. They have also analysed incidents related to recruitment, travel and alleged networks of influence in the context of the investigation of mask contracts.
