The former PSOE manager alleges that Koldo managed the money of the Organization Secretariat

The former PSOE manager today ratified the documentation sent by the party in which he argues that there are no discrepancies in the movement of cash and that everything delivered for settlement of expenses to the former Secretary of Organization José Luis Ábalos and his former advisor Koldo García is justified.

According to sources present at the interrogation, Mariano Moreno argued that García was in charge of managing expenses, including his own, those of his boss, Ábalos, and those of the entire team at the Organization Secretariat.

This, he says, is the explanation for why the PSOE initially did not submit all the information requested by Judge Leopoldo Puente, who is investigating the 'Koldo case'. The judge requested all expenses incurred by Ábalos, García, and the former Secretary of Organization, Manuel Cerdán. In their submission, the party did not include the expenses of the Secretary of Organization. According to his theory, these expenses also included personal expenses of Ábalos, García, and the rest of the team.

Sources from the defense of the former advisor explain that García was in charge of collecting the tickets and then distributing the corresponding settlement to each of the members.

Celia Rodríguez, a PSOE employee who was also summoned to testify today as a witness, explained that she did not know who collected the money for each member of the Organization Secretariat. According to her account, she would notify García when the money was ready, leave it at reception, and then someone would come to collect it.

This response is due to the fact that the summary shows how on occasion García sent his wife, Patricia Uriz, to get the money, which she then took to the Ministry of Transport, where her husband and her boss, José Luis Ábalos, were located.

According to sources present at the interrogation, Judge Puente has taken into account the documentation sent last Friday by the PSOE where the column of expenses paid to García, Ábalos, Cerdán and the Organization Secretariat appears.

According to these same sources, another explanation offered by Moreno, the current president of the state-owned uranium company Enusa, is that the party's executive committee members were sometimes paid their expenses in cash. He also indicated that the amount of money Ábalos requested was never questioned, nor was it ever questioned whether the sums he provided for meals or other expenses were excessive.
