The Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office requests 24 and 19.5 years in prison for them, respectively, for the mask plot
This Thursday, November 27, may be another important day in the dizzying political and judicial 2025. José Luis Ábalos and Koldo Garcia They go to the Supreme Court, where they have been called to a hearing in which the judge Leopoldo Puente He has to decide whether to send them to prison. The first will appear at 10:00 a.m. and the second at 12:30 p.m.
The Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office requests 24 years in prison for Ábalos and 19.5 for García for the mask plot during the Covid-19 pandemic. They are accused of five crimes: criminal organization, bribery, use of privileged information, influence peddling and embezzlement. For the third party involved in the case, the commission agent Victor de Aldamathe request is reduced to seven years.
In the last few hours, both Ábalos and Koldo have gone on the attack through flanks that they had not yet explored in their defense. In particular, against the Government. After having registered questions to the Executive regarding corruption, this Wednesday the former minister endorsed information from The Spanish which places Pedro Sanchez, Santos Cerdan and Arnaldo Otegi in a hamlet to negotiate EH Bildu’s support for the PSOE in the motion of censure against Mariano Rajoy.
Aldama also declares
While José Luis Ábalos and Koldo García risk jail time in the Supreme Court, commission agent Víctor de Aldama, for whom the accusations call for seven years in prison, will testify in the National Court. De Aldama, who this Monday collected a copy of the dump of two of the cell phones that were seized to prepare for this appearance, has been summoned to respond to the report in which the UCO maintains that it paid Koldo 10,000 euros per month for influencing in favor of their businesses.
This Friday it will be Koldo who appears at the Hearing. In a few hours it will be known if he will come from his home and on his own or transported by van from prison.
Ábalos decides to take out the Government’s dirty laundry to ‘die killing’ if the Supreme Court sends him to jail

José Luis Ábalos is willing to take out the dirty laundry of the Government and his former party just hours after the Supreme Court decide whether to go to jail or not. This Thursday, the former Minister of Transportation and his former advisor, Koldo García, face a hearing where their precautionary measures will be reviewed in response to the Anti-Corruption prison requests and the popular accusation for alleged crimes of bribery, membership in a criminal organization, influence peddling and embezzlement of public funds within the framework of the masks plot.
Ábalos and Koldo face a key day in the Supreme Court in which they could end up sleeping in jail
Both defendants are summoned at 10:00 and 12:30, respectively, to a viewing in which they will discuss precautionary measures in view of the start of the oral trial.
Follow on
Until now, José Luis Ábalos and Koldo Garcia They have already faced a trial on two occasions to review their precautionary measures and on both occasions they have managed to emerge successfully and avoid going to prison. But this Thursday his luck could change, since although the judge Leopoldo Puente He did not see enough evidence to apply the most serious measure of all the last times, in this new glimpse the two accused could leave in a police van bound for jail.
The Government will live the day in Congress
Another important forecast of the day takes place in the Congress of Deputies. The camera addresses the budget stability goals and public debt for all Public Administrations approved by the Government for the period 2026-2028 and the limit of non-financial expenditure of the State budget. The Executive will not be able to convince the necessary number of partners, as the different formations have already advanced. PP, Vox and Junts will knock him down.
Another focus on the investiture of Pérez Llorca
But Thursday goes beyond the Supreme Court. Plenary session in Les Corts Valencianes, investiture debate Juanfran Pérez Llorca to replace Carlos Mazón at the head of the Generalitat. It will start at 11:00 a.m. and depends on the support of Vox, which wants to keep things unknown until the last minute, although it is the candidate they themselves chose. Santiago Abascal and Alberto Núñez Feijóo They have already addressed this session and the positive vote is taken for granted.
