And Armengol spoke to Ábalos through Koldo, and asked him about the children's masks, saying, "I will fix it for you."
According to the researchers, Koldo acted as an intermediary thanks to his proximity to Ábalos, facilitating communication between the Balearic Government and the interests related to the criminal network under investigation, including PCR tests, child masks or investments in the pandemic.
The Central Operational Unit of the Civil Guard (UCO) has found that the former President of theBalearic Islands and current President of Congress, Francina Armengol , went several times to Koldo García , a former adviser to the Ministry of Transport, to contact MinisterJosé Luis Ábalos during the pandemic.
Accordingto a report sent to the judge of the National High Court examining the "Koldo case", these efforts were related to the PCR test, child masks or investments during the pandemic, among others. "I'll fix it. Give me a few hours," Koldo once replied.
According to the researchers, Koldo was acting as an intermediary thanks to his proximity to Ábalos, facilitating communication between the Balearic Government and the various interests linked to the criminal network under investigation. Among the interviews analysed, in June 2020 Armengol asked for help in talking to the minister, to which Koldo replied that he would manage the contact.
As can be seen from these conversations, Armengol was looking for solutions to specific problems, such as PCR tests to enable the transit of passengers.
In addition, in April 2020, Armengol asked Koldo if he knew of a child mask supplier, who replied that he would fix it in a few hours, and later gave himdetails about deadlines and costs .
The report also includes other post-pandemic contacts, such as efforts on European funds or health proposals for the Balearic Islands. In some cases, Armengol expressed frustration at the lack of response from the Ministry of Health, while Koldo undertook to intervene with other other positions to unblock situations.
Finally, the investigation examines whether the Health Service of the Balearic Islands purchased masks from a company linked to the network that, in millions of euros, did not meet the requirements for being considered FFP2, according to a technical report. Years later, the Government initiated a procedure for terminating the contract, which was eventually declared null and void and forced the parties to return the money received.
