This Was Ábalos's Statement in the Supreme Court: 'my Assets Are...'

Former Minister of Transport and once the most trusted man of PSOE, José Luis Ábalos, testified this Thursday before the Supreme Court magistrate, Leopoldo Puente. Ábalos arrived at his hearing as a defendant amid the scandal over the incendiary photographs of his close friend, Jéssica, on a prostitution website.

During his testimony, the former minister of Pedro Sánchez claimed that his assets are "clean." The former number two of PSOE arrived at the Supreme Court shortly after 9:30 a.m., and in his hearing before the magistrate, which lasted approximately 40 minutes, he asserted that his assets are clean. Meanwhile, Judge Puente inquired about the visit of the Chavista regime's leader to Madrid in January 2020.

Recently, the Supreme Court magistrate requested that the Civil Guard investigators focus on the assets of Ábalos and his son, Víctor Ábalos. But it doesn't end there.

Today, the anti-corruption prosecutor's office also requested Judge Leopoldo Puente to revoke Ábalos's passport and prohibit him from leaving the country. This is within the framework of the investigation for alleged crimes of bribery, influence peddling, and criminal organization.

Among the proposed restrictions, the prosecutor's office requests the revocation of the passport, the prohibition of leaving the country, and the obligation to appear every 15 days before the Supreme Court. These measures aim to ensure his availability to the justice system as the process progresses.

Everything You Didn't Know About Jéssica, 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 firm 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.

Jéssica 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 was listed in a model catalog. Photographs of her, 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.
