“Safety was one of the most important aspects for [Víctor de] Aldama”, said the senior Civil Guard official accused in the investigation into the “Koldo Field‘, Rubén Villalba. It is precisely for this reason that he used his services for which he could have called on him over 80,000 in cash in order to guarantee the internal and external security of the alleged criminal organization. Its members, including Koldo García, asked him to carry out queries in the databases of the Civil Guard, such as those of the referring to the president of the governmentsimulation of “scans” to exclude the presence of surveillance devices, but also analysis and security of mobile phones. One of them was used by the former socialist minister, Jose Luis Abalos.
“I even saw the minister with one of the telephone numbers that Koldo asked us,” Villalba said during a conversation with another agent and that the UCO includes in its new report to which laSexta had access. It is true that “Koldo’s side”, he admitted, did not know “what he was doing with these phones”, but he assured that “Victor’s side [Aldama]“He took care of it every time it needed to be changed.” The role of this agent would therefore be to manage. “change these phones and destroy the old ones.”
In this way, the accused commander “allowed Aldama to communicate safely and apart from possible legal/police actions (…) with other members of the alleged criminal organization. » But Koldo also “would have received this type of mobile terminals, especially while he carried out professional functions for the Ministry” of Transport, which Ábalos headed at that time.
Of course, the person most concerned about this issue was the former president of Zamora FC. The report said the businessman “would demand.” a large number of mobile terminals in relatively short periods of time, since in some cases this required between two or three telephones per month.” According to Villalba, Aldama declared having “polluted” the terminals by speaking to third parties outside his group.
It is precisely through this affair that Villalba tried to justify the large sums that the commander of the Civil Guard received with the aim, in principle, of “dealing with the high costs of communications security”. “Well, it was add and each time he gave 2,000 euros to pay“Villalba told another agent, while assuring him that they were ‘disposable’. However, his interlocutor was incredulous.
A problem that also makes investigators suspicious after discovering a “WhatsApp conversation between Aldama and [su secretaria] Piety [Losada]in which the latter sends him an image of a cell phone caseAlcatel model 1 with two personal defense aerosols provided by the Civil Guard, indicating that Rubén had brought it [Villalba]”.
Thus, UCO investigators conclude that “through the analysis of evidence in the case, it became clear that investigators Koldo and Aldama had a secure mobile telephone communication line.” Your goal “so they don’t get caught”he assures in another recorded conversation between Villalba and another agent.
