Interior will withdraw Aldama’s medal “as soon as possible”
The Minister of the Interior, Fernando Grande-Marlaska, will withdraw the Order of Merit of the Civil Guard with white badge granted to the alleged commissioner of the ‘Koldo affair‘, Víctor de Aldama, as soon as possible. Even if the Interior admits that it is probable that, to dismiss him, it will be necessary to wait until there is a firm condemnation of the commissioner.

The AUGC considers it “unacceptable” that decorations be awarded to people “whose career may contradict the principles of ethics, honesty and commitment” which govern the institution.
