This Monday all eyes were laid in Supreme CourtIn the room where Judge Leopoldo Puente I was waiting Santos Serdan listen to their explanationsField but one who was number three of PSOE, denied the greatestThe field even assured the judge that this is not his voice, which is heard in the audio recording of the Uco report, in which he is indicated as the leader of the plot.
Finally, Judge Leopoldo Puente introduced a preliminary prison car reported without a bail against him. Serdan entered Soto Del Real Penitentiarian CenterAround 4:40 PM. On Monday. The order of the judge of the Supreme Court is very dumb. Leopold Puent believes that they exist “Remarkable signs” that Cerdán will participate In the commission of three crimes: Integration into a criminal organizationIN Influence And corrupt practicesField
However Central Operational Unit of Civil Guard He not only indicated with his messages to the serdan. For them there are not only signs that it was a triangle in which they were also Jose Luis Abolasas a person in power; And Koldo GarciaLike a great follower. And here is where we find the first difference, Since none of them was sent to jail After the announcement before the same judge. In the case of Abalass and Koldo, Magistrate Puent believed that with Maintain precautionsLike the withdrawal of a passport and declaration every 15 days at the judicial headquarters, this was enough.
Why is Serdan entered in jail, and Abolas and Koldo right?
Therefore, the key question is why you indicate your immediate entrance to prison? Or, in other words, to understand why Leopold Puent decided that Cardan was entering prison, but Abolas and Koldo were not. Magistrate He claims that a former socialist deputy can commit new crimes If he is still free, given this He resigned from his state as an aphorodoRemember the field that a few days after he knew his imputation, Serdan brought his deputies and resigned from all his positions.
Of course, Puent says that The risk of escape “is never completely disposable”because “The true economic situation of Santos Serdan is still unknown And that Possible contacts or resources abroad“But, no doubt, an argument that has a greater weight in the decision of the judge to send to prison a former socialist is the existence of a “certain risk” of the destruction of evidenceThe field is an important detail and the fact that the magistrate did not see when he heard the statements of Abalaros or Koldo. Therefore, they sleep at home and Serdan spent his first night, slept in Soto del Real PigField
The judge believes that in the case Abolas and Koldo could already register their homes And that devicesBoth phone and computer. The actions that were still performed with Santos Serdan. He did not give time, because his figure did not meet in this plot until Uco submitted his report and indicated him as a necessary leader in the alleged conspiracy of the bite collection in exchange for rewards for public work on Awards on Companies such as Servinabar or AccionaField but initially all testimonies were focused on Former Minister Abolas and his adviser, Koldo GarciaField
Therefore, there was no time to fulfill “indispensable Explore about yours Real patrimonial situation “Not one “was the subject of the home registry “The field is two realities that lead us directly to the risk of destroying evidence. Not an escape or committing other crimes, but in order to disappear or hide key information for the investigation.
More than 5,000,000 million euros in estimated bites
And if we talked about Corruption triangle with three main charactersJudge Leopoldo Puente Places Santos Serdan on the threshold of a “criminal organization”that he would form next to Ábalos And KoldoThe field without forgetting other employees who could also participate in this proposed corruption conspiracy.
Corruption or organization dedicated, and this is a textual prison machine, “You will receive unreasonably economic awards for the illegal award of public work”In this way, he ascribes to Serdan the role Get “Economic awards, commission or bites”The field in the car is also calculated that They could get more than 5,000,000 million euros in the commissionsField
In addition, the magistrate saw very clear indications that indicate Jose Luis Abolasas a minister, as an influential person, entrusted to the “concrete management of awards to his adviser Coldo “Who, although in principle, lacked all the competition in this matter, was those who, however, were personally interested in direct and frequent contact with Director General of Roads and President AdifUnder direct reward management. “
And, judge Leopoldo Puente He gave full reliability to the notes seized UcoThe field sounds that we knew those who had access in which Listen to Koldo Garcia, Jose Luis Abolas and Santos SerdanThe field “In short, for which reason is not noticed that always in the testimony that are typical for this moment of the investigation, ask the question that the above records correspond to effectively conversations,” the judge of the Supreme Court indicates in its brief presentation.
Given all this, another question arises: What is the protection of Santos Serdan? Did not sweat to guarantee that he is accused of Pressure “certain forces of disagreement with his decisive participation in Formation of a progressive government “The field, that is, in his words, he sleeps in the prison of Soto -Del Real for his role in What is the protection of Santos SerdanField
