EDATV The 'Dangerous' Record of the Alleged Driver Who Took Carmen Pano to Ferraz
The businesswoman who claimed to have taken 90,000 euros to the socialist headquarters gave the name of the driver who took her
Businesswoman Carmen Pano claimed to have brought cash to Ferraz. Pano recently mentioned the name of Álvaro Gallego in the Supreme Court. According to her statement, he was allegedly the person who transported her in his vehicle.
It was on one of the occasions when she delivered 90,000 euros in cash to the PSOE headquarters on Ferraz Street.
According to her, money that came from the corruption scheme led by Víctor de Aldama. According to information published by El Independiente, Gallego has a long criminal history and is known to the authorities, with "countless criminal records."
The media outlet notes that entrepreneurs in the hydrocarbon sector indicate that Gallego was not professionally dedicated to driving. Instead, he was part of Carmen Pano's close circle, whom he knew because they lived in the same area.
Álvaro Gallego García, 53 years old, is the administrator and sole partner of Petrolara 2016 S.L. This is a hydrocarbon operating company that is also being investigated by the National Court. All of this is within the framework of one of the VAT fraud schemes related to fuel.
Additionally, according to the UCO, Gallego has an extensive list of criminal records. Among them are offenses such as driving under the influence of alcohol, breaking sentences, robbery with force. But also document forgery, vehicle theft or robbery, and assault.
The cash deliveries, which allegedly took place in October 2020, have added a new focus to the judicial investigation. Pano detailed that she received the cash from a person whose identity she did not disclose and initially transported it to Víctor de Aldama's office on Alfonso XII Street. Subsequently, at Aldama's request, she took the money to the socialist headquarters.
The Two Cash Deliveries According to Carmen Pano
"The first time in a taxi and the second time a person, Álvaro Gallego, took me," explained the businesswoman. However, she claimed to be unaware of the final destination of the funds and who was the recipient at the PSOE headquarters.
This new testimony could provide relevant information in the Koldo case, an investigation that continues to advance to clarify alleged irregularities in the management of funds and contracts linked to the socialist party.
