Anti-Corruption Prosecutor Backs Written Testimony From Armengol and Torres for Supreme Court ‘Koldo’ Trial Starting April 7

Prosecutors say written statements are warranted because the questions concern actions taken in their former regional roles.

Overview

  • The Supreme Court will try the first case linked to the ‘Koldo’ affair beginning on 7 April.
  • Armengol and Torres requested to testify in writing, with questions limited to regional purchases of protective gear and any ties to earlier Transport Ministry awards to Soluciones de Gestión.
  • Chief prosecutor Alejandro Luzón told the court he will not submit questions for them and noted they were not proposed as witnesses during earlier trial preparations.
  • Contracts granted to Soluciones de Gestión in April and May 2020 by the Balearic and Canary Islands health services are cited as relevant context.
  • Both were summoned as witnesses for 16 April and informed the court they will respond in writing, after which other parties were invited to file their questions.
