Koldo García, former aide to José Luis Ábalos, testified on Thursday before Spain's Supreme Court in the Mascarillas case trial. He admitted receiving 500-euro bills, dubbed 'chistorras', from the PSOE for expense reimbursements. He denied payments from Víctor de Aldama and defended Ábalos.

Víctor de Aldama, key businessman in the masks plot, testified on Wednesday in Spain's Supreme Court that the PSOE was illegally financed with cash from construction firms and that Pedro Sánchez knew about it. Ábalos and Koldo García recruited him to collect funds, according to his statement. The testimony is part of the masks case trial but addresses a secret probe at the National Court.

The Cádiz PSOE provincial leadership has prevailed over Andalusian general secretary María Jesús Montero, who accepted the electoral list for the May 17 elections without her proposed changes. Juan Cornejo will head the Cádiz candidacy, with Fernando López Gil in third place. The Director Committee approved all lists unanimously after a nearly two-hour delay.

In the third session of the Koldo corruption case trial at Spain's Supreme Court—following initial testimonies on Day 1 that largely denied wrongdoing—businesswoman Carmen Pano testified to delivering 90,000 euros on two occasions to the PSOE headquarters on Ferraz street, in plastic bags inside cardboard ones. Her daughter, Leonor González Pano, ex-girlfriend of Víctor de Aldama, confirmed acting as a front for related companies and detailed a chalet for José Luis Ábalos and an Air Europa commission. Defendants Ábalos and Aldama heard the testimonies.
