In the same way as the socialist government of Rodriguez Zapatero was marked by what we call Pheasant case -information from the Ministry of the Interior to a member of the ETA extortion network who was warned of an imminent raid-, Pedro Sánchez already has his Pheasant. He Koldo affair This exploded in the hands of the President of the Government when a UCO report was revealed revealing that he was the former director general of the Civil Guard. Leonard Marcos the fact that gave the tip to those investigated in the plot. The confession comes from the former advisor of Jose Luis Abalos. The document is extremely serious, because it specifies that it was Koldo who informed the leaders of the plot and that it was the director of the Civil Guard himself who informed him of certain details of the investigation. Now everything is understood: Marcos was appointed by Sánchez himself director of Benemérita in June 2023 and resigned from his post in September 2024 for “personal problems”. We already know what the “personal problems” were, since his surprising departure occurred at the very time when the Civil Guard report in which he was mentioned was being prepared.
That the head of Benemérita, instead of remaining discreet, reveals the leader of the plot they are investigating is something that falls squarely under the Penal Code. Did Marcos act on his own initiative or was the tip to Koldo ordered by his superiors? The superiors were obviously Marlaska and Pedro Sánchez. The UCO report is devastating: “In the second half of 2023 Koldo would know they were watching him. So, on numerous occasions he called Rubén, the civil guard accused in the case Koldo affair— with the aim of confirming that it was the Civil Guard and specifically the UCO, the Unit which was behind him,” the document specifies. From the analysis of cell phones intercepted last February after the arrest of the leaders of the plot, it is clear that it was the head of the Civil Guard himself who alerted Koldo to the investigation. He Pheasant He’s back and it’s only just begun.
