The 'private funding' obtained by PSOE during Aldama's time sparks controversy

PSOE has seen its "private financing" increase as shown by the documents. Almost 5 million more in the same time period in which, according to Aldama, a part of the illegal commissions paid to members of the Government. These payments, according to the businessman, served to inject funds into the political formation.

The document, published by the newspaper El Debate, has created a great stir on social media. Specifically, in 2023 PSOE received a total of 29.5 million euros from membership fees, contributions from public officials, and donations. However, there is one piece of data that stands out above all.

Compared to the previous year, an extraordinary income of five million euros stands out. Specifically, in the item called 'Products of own activities'. That is, PSOE went from receiving 10,101.08 euros in 2022 to 5,712,164.16 euros.

This information has received several comments on social media from many who label this information as a "scandal". Additionally, there are those who call PSOE a "mafia".

The discovery of the judge investigating Aldama involving Sánchez's officials

Supposedly, he has detected the disappearance of WhatsApp messages on the businessman's phone. According to the media, they would have been sent by senior officials of Pedro Sánchez's Government.

The IT specialists of the National Court have informed magistrate Santiago Pedraz, of the Central Investigative Court number 5. They have warned that several messages from Aldama's mobile are not accessible due to a "key problem". Meanwhile, the businessman maintained that his device contained highly relevant information about PSOE.

The Central Operational Unit (UCO) of the Civil Guard has been examining the electronic devices seized in the judicial searches related to Víctor de Aldama for months. One of these analyses, included in a report in the Koldo case file, supposedly revealed that the businessman maintained links with influential figures in both Spanish and foreign institutions.

Additionally, the investigation determined that Aldama performed diplomatic tasks for Pedro Sánchez's Government without being part of the official body. The agents also concluded that his level of access and penetration within the General State Administration was significant.

This mentioned discovery was already mentioned by Aldama himself, as previously mentioned. In a document sent to the courts to which this house had access, it shows Aldama's interest in continuing to collaborate with Justice.

They ask the judge to summon the woman who said she brought 90,000 euros to Ferraz

Judge Moreno, who is leading the investigation, initially refused to summon both, as their statements contradicted a police report based on digital evidence. However, the second section of the Criminal Court has overturned this decision following an appeal filed by the popular accusation, the party Iustitia Europa. This new order emphasizes that the statements of Pano and her daughter may be key to clarifying the facts.

The case revolves around the collection of illicit commissions in public contracts for masks during 2020. A plot involving several investigated individuals, including former minister José Luis Ábalos, who is charged in the Supreme Court. According to the appeal, the witnesses' statements may provide relevant information about the connections with some of the main individuals investigated in the case.

In October 2020, Carmen Pano stated in a digital media that she had been commissioned by the alleged intermediary Víctor de Aldama. To bring a significant sum of money to PSOE's headquarters in Madrid.

This delivery of 90,000 euros would have been linked to an attempt by the company Villafuel to obtain the hydrocarbon operator license. The woman's accusation was presented as a key piece in the investigation.

However, Judge Moreno, upon analyzing the available evidence, found that Pano's testimony contradicted the police report that had been gathered from the seized devices. The digital report indicated that there was not enough evidence to corroborate the woman's claims.

Carmen Pano's statements caused a great stir. PSOE replied by filing a conciliation lawsuit, arguing that the claims were unfounded. The political formation also raised the possibility of filing a lawsuit for slander, although, for the moment, this has not been formalized.
