medium article 2 min

L'ancien ministre espagnol des Transports, José Luis Abalos, est jugé à partir du 7 avril pour corruption, détournement de fonds, trafic d'influence et appartenance à une organisation criminelle, des faits qui se seraient déroulés pendant la pandémie de Covid-19. Accusé d'avoir participé à l'attribution frauduleuse de marchés publics contre des pots-de-vin, il risque 24 ans de prison. Deux autres hommes, Koldo Garcia, son ancien conseiller, et Victor de Aldama, un homme d'affaires, comparaissent également. De Aldama a avoué avoir manoeuvré avec Abalos et Garcia pour obtenir des contrats. L'affaire éclabousse potentiellement le Premier ministre Pedro Sanchez, bien que celui-ci nie toute implication. D'autres scandales de corruption impliquant le Premier ministre et son épouse sont également en cours.
