Who Is Nicole, the Other Woman in the Koldo Case 'Plugged' into a Public Entity?

The scandal involving women linked to the Koldo plot is not new. It all began with the famous close friend of former minister José Luis Ábalos, Jéssica Rodríguez, who was hired at Ineco. Then the scandal of Miss Asturias, Claudia Montes, broke out; now, it has been revealed that a third woman named Nicole was "plugged" into a public company, allegedly by Koldo García.

This is Nicole N., who began working in 2021 at the public company Enajenación de Materiales Ferroviarios (Emfesa). At that time, Ábalos was still in charge of the Transport portfolio.

Nicole, of Romanian origin, was directly incorporated as the territorial delegate of the Environment in the Northern area. In 2023, she assumed the same position in Levante, replacing Joseba García, Koldo's brother, who was recently removed from the company due to accusations of nepotism.

According to The Objective, Emfesa has confirmed her hiring. Although they deny that it was the result of García's intervention. According to the company, "the regulated procedure was followed" and Nicole has regularly attended her job, although she is currently on medical leave.

The company, which is responsible for cleaning railway tracks and stations, has been pointed out on several occasions for alleged irregular hiring. This, with workers reporting that its director, Vicente Calzado, has favored the incorporation of relatives and close associates since 2011.

The close relationship between Koldo García and Nicole dates back more than a decade. The connection between Koldo García and Nicole extends for more than ten years. This, from the time when the former ministerial advisor worked as a security member at the Rosalex brothel in Pamplona (Navarra).

At that time, Nicole worked as the manager of Olimpo, another establishment owned by the same proprietor, located in Burlada (Navarra). According to The Objective, she is described as a "close friend" and a person protected by Koldo, with few relationships within the company and a very private life on social media.

Allegedly, Nicole is part of García's closest circle, a bond that was reflected in her appointment as the territorial delegate of the Eastern area at the end of 2022. This, replacing her brother Joseba. At that time, she moved to Benidorm, where she stayed in a residence located just 300 meters from Koldo García's home.

The property in question is the same one where García located the company he shared with his partner, Patricia Uriz. It is Erikapat Consultoría Internacional. Whose headquarters is on the first floor of a tourist apartment building on Avenida de Almería in the Alicante city.

Koldo García's influence in the public sector was not limited to favoring his friends and romantic partners. Allegedly, he also extended his network of contacts to place close women in various state entities.
