Koldo García

Koldo García is a former advisor to ex-Minister José Luis Ábalos and a central figure in the ongoing trial concerning alleged corruption in mask procurement during the COVID-19 pandemic. Testimonies at the Supreme Court trial suggest García played a role in bringing mask offers to Spain, with one witness claiming he presented an offer of "eight million or nothing." His defense, along with Ábalos's, has attempted to frame their actions as crucial for securing early mask supplies for Spain. Recent developments include testimonies from García's ex-partner, who described the PSOE's strict expense reimbursement policies, and from businessman Víctor de Aldama, a key commissioner in the case. The trial also involves businessman Claudio Rivas, who is alleged to have bought a property for Ábalos. García's current relevance stems from his central role in the unfolding corruption investigation, with ongoing testimonies aiming to clarify his involvement and that of other high-profile figures.
