The Audiencia Nacional has incorporated testimony from Víctor de Aldama and Koldo García—originally given in the masks trial—into its investigation of alleged irregular PSOE financing. The move follows a prosecutor's request citing new details on cash payments and rigged contracts.
Judge Ismael Moreno requested copies of the statements from the Supreme Court after prosecutor Luis Pastor Motta argued they shed light on rigged public contracts and cash transfers to the party.
Building on earlier testimony reported in this series, Aldama described commissions paid in cash by construction firms for PSOE financing and referenced Venezuelan oil quotas. He claimed to have delivered 1.8 million euros, naming firms such as Levantina, Latania and Azvi.
Koldo García reiterated receiving 500-euro notes from the PSOE (which he called 'txistorras') to reimburse expenses he had advanced. Former party manager Mariano Moreno again denied that high-value notes were used.
