The Prosecutor's Decision That Prevents Ábalos From Leaving Spain

Ábalos has become one of the prominent names of the day. The former minister testified before the Supreme Court without the immunity he enjoyed as a parliamentarian.

This Thursday, the Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office requested the judge to prevent the former PSOE organization secretary, José Luis Ábalos, from leaving the country. They did so by revoking his passport and requiring him to appear in court every two weeks. The socialist former minister attended the Supreme Court for the second time, although this time without the protection of parliamentary immunity.

After voluntarily testifying on December 12, Ábalos returned to appear before Judge Leopoldo Puente. This time as a defendant. He is burdened by the statements of Víctor de Aldama, who links him to three key issues.

Among them, the possible receipt of commissions in exchange for facilitating the awarding of contracts to certain companies.

Also the alleged profits in real estate operations. Meanwhile his role as head of the Ministry of Transport in awarding contracts to Soluciones de Gestión SL for the supply of medical supplies during the pandemic.

Everything You Didn't Know About Jésica, Ábalos's Close Friend

The young woman, allegedly, joined Ábalos on official trips and lived in the luxurious apartment that, according to the UCO Operational Unit, was paid for with money from 'the scheme'. Furthermore, before enjoying the benefits of her close relationship with the former minister of Pedro Sánchez, the young woman had a completely different lifestyle.

Before making her way into the world of modeling and brand promotion as an image hostess, Jéssica developed her work experience in the commercial sector. She worked as a sales assistant in a well-known clothing store within a department store and also in a company specializing in luggage. Her time at these companies allowed her to acquire skills in customer service and sales before making the leap to her career in fashion and advertising.

Jésica Rodríguez, former partner of José Luis Ábalos, worked between 2009 and 2016 as an image hostess in various event companies, especially promoting alcoholic beverages.

According to the resume she submitted to Ineco, from 2016 until her hiring in 2019, facilitated by Ábalos and Koldo García, she did not receive any salary income.

Additionally, since 2013, her profile appeared in a model catalog. Her photographs, taken by different professionals, were found on electronic devices seized by the Civil Guard in the Koldo case. Her image appeared on the internet alongside other models.

All of this, according to the digital outlet El Español.
