Unidad Central Operativa (UCO)

The Unidad Central Operativa (UCO) is a Spanish investigative unit within the Guardia Civil that focuses on combating corruption. Recent news articles suggest that UCO has been involved in several high-profile cases, including the investigation into José Luis Ábalos, an ex-minister of Transportes accused of corruption. The unit's work has led to significant developments in these cases, including the discovery of a hidden room in Ábalos' home and the provision of evidence by Víctor de Aldama, a businessman linked to Ábalos. UCO's involvement highlights the ongoing efforts to combat corruption in Spain and its relevance in high-profile political cases.
