Otro grave escándalo de corrupción
Dec. 10, 2025

  • A new investigation was opened which brings more pressure on the government and directly demands answers from María Jesús Montero.
  • Vicente Fernández, former president of the SEPI and a person of trust from the Minister of Finance, was arrested due to alleged irregular public contracts.
  • Leire Díez, a person connected to the PSOE, was also detained within the same operation.
  • The investigations focus on five serious crimes: fraud, forgery, misappropriation, influence peddling, and prevarication.
  • Díez's arrest points towards a possible state operation to dismantle cases that affect the president's environment.
  • Montero kept the position of president of the society vacant for 18 months, awaiting Fernández's acquittal in the Aznalcóllar case.

Conclusion: The recent scandals raise concerns about the integrity and transparency of the Government, demanding accountability and explanations from high-level figures.
