The impetus that National Court judge Ismael Moreno gave, in the form of three orders, to the investigation into the Koldo case involves the adoption of a battery of procedures motivated by different popular accusations, but also by severe refusal of their assertions, as in the case of Vox, which asked to recover the minutes of the Council of Ministers on the purchase of masks and to charge and search the home of an Interior official who came as a witness, Daniel Belmar.
“This would transform this procedure into a general case on the purchase of medical supplies made during the pandemic,” says the instructor, in a document to which ABC had access and which is in the same direction as the report on the subject of the ‘Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office.
“In any criminal procedure, the parties have the right to propose measures useful to the defense and to contradict the proposals of the other appearing parties or those agreed by the investigating judge. But it’s not about an unlimited and global right», reasons one of the cars to which ABC had access. They also requested certain testimonies which have already been adopted at the request of the prosecutor and others which are excluded because the judge understands that they contribute little.
The instructor also refuses to accuse the former president of the State Ports Francisco Toledo, as HazteOír insisted, because he considers that “the contradictions in his testimony do not constitute sufficient proof” against him, and he excludes also influence the method of payment for masks. since in the statements, he says, this was clarified “unanimously”, or collect testimonies on the transport of masks carried out by Air Europa, because it is already clarified that this was the case. This popular accusation has already announced that it will appeal.
