These Are the Public Entities Where Ábalos's 'Close Friends' Have Been Placed

Ábalos remains in the spotlight. If there is something that has kept the population completely outraged, it is related to José Luis Ábalos's "close friends," the former PSOE minister. More specifically, it concerns three women close to Ábalos who allegedly worked in state-dependent companies.

Jésica Rodríguez

In total, there would be three. First, Jésica Rodríguez stands out, who already testified as a witness in the Koldo case. The woman, completely nervous in her statement at the Supreme Court, spoke about two public companies.

Ineco stands out, a company where she was hired after an interview with the former advisor of the former minister, Koldo García: "Can you read and write? Well, that's it, you're hired."

Additionally, she confessed that she never went to the public company to perform her duties. This, despite having been employed between March 1, 2019, and February 28, 2021. She only showed up once to pick up a laptop, but she did not perform any tasks and commented that she did not receive any instructions about it.

"They never called me to work." This device only served her to take an occupational risk course and to clock in weekly, "but that was all."

The truth is that the newspaper VozPópuli has highlighted the new "evidence" with which Ineco has wanted to refute that version. However, "anomalies" are observed in that timekeeping. It suggests the possibility that it was Joseba, Koldo's brother, who was signing for Jésica.

The second company, according to El Debate, would be Tragsatec. It is a public company linked to the Tragsa group, whose main shareholder is the State Society of Industrial Participations (SEPI).

However, Jésica stated before the Supreme Court that she doesn't remember how she got to the company. This is what the mentioned media declares.

Miss Asturias

Ábalos has categorically denied that there was a relationship with her. However, Claudia Montes, or as she is known, Miss Asturias, has not gone unnoticed.

According to Vozpópuli, she worked as an administrative assistant at Lorigrail, a subsidiary of Renfe, between December 2019 and February 2022. Although the former minister has categorically rejected any link with her, she received her salary during that period. This is confirmed by the mentioned media.

His Current Partner

Like with Montes, Andrea de la Torre also worked at this same company. Also in that same position supposedly from June 2022 until last August. This is how the newspaper explains it.
