Businessman Alleges Corruption in Spanish Government

Published: 2024-11-22

In a dramatic turn of events, businessman Víctor de Aldama has made explosive allegations of corruption involving high-ranking officials in Spain's government.

Testifying in the National Court, Aldama accused former Minister José Luis Ábalos and his advisor Koldo García of orchestrating a scheme involving illicit payments and favors.

He claimed to have paid hundreds of thousands of euros to various officials, including Ábalos, in exchange for business advantages.

Aldama's testimony has sent shockwaves through the political landscape, prompting calls for further investigations into President Pedro Sánchez and other ministers.

While the government has dismissed these allegations as false, the case has reignited debates on political integrity and corruption in Spain.
