The revelations of the Koldo case regarding the possible link of the Information Service of the Civil Guard with the corruption plot investigated are experiencing a new episode with the request of the Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office to declare one of its top officials, the colonel in charge, as a witness. of the unit against jihadist terrorism. The prosecutor has also requested the testimony of seven other agents who made bank deposits to the accused commander, Rubén V., or orders from him for the businessman Aldama.
The Information Service of the Civil Guard (SIGC) suffers a seizure since the conversation seized from Commander Rubén with his boss, the colonel in command of UCE-2, the anti-jihadist unit, emerged. In it it was made clear that the colonel, with great ascendancy in the anti-terrorist service, knew that the businessman at the center of the corruption plot, Víctor de Aldama, was registered as a confidant in the unit dedicated to detecting Islamist terrorists.
The prosecutor’s letter reveals that the colonel, whom the UCO investigation identifies as “Agent 1” had personal contact with Koldo García, the former advisor of José Luis Ábalos. Koldo is a “coffee maker” in the conversations between the colonel and his subordinate Rubén, presumably on the organization’s payroll. “Tell the coffee maker that if she is there next week we will have a coffee. If it suits you. “I’ll return on Saturday,” says the colonel.
In that conversation, the colonel and commander express their concern that Koldo García and Aldama are going to associate them with criminal activities. “Fuck Koldo, angry as a monkey, Víctor de Aldama, angry as a monkey, thinking that we have made them a croquette. The problem is that they are thinking, or have thought that we have still made them a croquette, damn that we have been with them and now that we knew that they were going to arrest them, we have gotten out of the way”, the colonel states in the recording.
A popular accusation had asked the judge to summon the colonel as an investigator, but the Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office has opted for him to testify as a witness, the same condition in which a total of seven agents from the anti-terrorist service of the armed institute will appear.
New suspects and bail
In addition, the Prosecutor’s Office requests the declaration as investigated of Ignacio Díaz Tapia, linked to Aldama and who paid for a plane ticket to Venezuela for Commander Rubén. It so happens that later, Rubén was selected by the Civil Guard and the Ministry of the Interior for a posting in the Embassy of that country. The order was issued by the Secretary of State for Security, Rafael Pérez, at the proposal of the director of the Corps until his recent dismissal, Leonardo Marcos.
In addition to Díaz Tapia, Anticorruption proposes the appearance of four other people as defendants. He also requests that Rubén V. be required to provide a bond of 88,119 euros within a period of fifteen days.
