The Central Operational Unit (UCO) of the Civil Guard has submitted a new report to Judge Ismael Moreno regarding the ongoing investigation into alleged corrupt practices in the procurement of sanitary materials during the pandemic. The report implicates Isabel Pardo de Vera, former president of Adif, in these alleged corrupt activities, which include irregular hiring linked to a former partner of ex-Minister of Transport José Luis Ábalos and another scheme involving kickbacks for public works.

Investigators have indicated that a portion of the content from devices seized from Pardo de Vera has been deleted, raising concerns about the integrity of the evidence collected. This issue complicates the ongoing investigation into the procurement scandal, originally known as the Koldo case, which highlights potential misuse of power and resources during a national health crisis. The implications of this report could extend beyond Pardo de Vera and impact the broader political landscape in Spain, given her connections to senior political figures.

As the inquiry progresses, the UCO continues to uncover details that could further reveal the extent of corruption in the public sector during critical times. The case not only reflects on individual accountability but also questions the procurement protocols established during the crisis, emphasizing the need for stringent oversight in government contracts, especially in emergencies. The outcomes of this investigation may lead to significant repercussions for those involved, including potential reforms in how public health materials are procured in Spain in the future.
