Denies Mismanagement In Mask Procurement
A defendant in the mask procurement investigation, José Luis Ábalos, testified to magistrates regarding the organization's structure. Ábalos, the former Minister of Transport and Secretary of Organization for the Socialist Party, claimed the group operated on a specific hierarchy. He stated that the President of the Government is at level 1, followed by Ábalos at level 2, and others at levels 3 and 4. An accused advisor in the Mascarillas case defended his role during a court appearance, claiming he acted only as a transport advisor. The defendant stated he did not decide on the 500 million euro rescue or credit decisions, but merely relayed messages to technical staff. The prosecution is currently in recess following his testimony. He stated that his actions were strictly political orders rather than administrative management.
