- The investigating judge told the ministry’s Council of Public Works to deliver full dossiers, copies of all opinions, and the names of officials tied to ten contested tenders.

- The request spans major rail works run by Adif and highway projects, including jobs in Murcia, Sant Feliu de Llobregat, Asturias, La Rioja, Seville and Burgos.
- Prosecutors allege the scheme steered awards to Acciona, Levantina Ingeniería y Construcción and Obras Públicas y Regadíos in exchange for illegal commissions that would have benefited former PSOE organizer José Luis Ábalos and his ex-adviser Koldo García.
- The court cites clear signs of organized criminal activity, bribery, influence peddling and prevarication, and identifies former Adif president Isabel Pardo de Vera and the former highways director as alleged facilitators.
