La UCO investiga como presunto blanqueo la compra de un local y una plaza de garaje por la novia de Ábalos

The Central Unit Operation (UCO) of the Guardia Civil, authorized by Judge Ismael Moreno of the National High Court, focused its operation on Andrea de la Torre, the fiancée of former Minister José Luis Ábalos, and specifically on a real estate purchase she made in 2024, sources familiar with the investigation told this newspaper.

The purchase involved a flat and a parking space in the Vallecas district of Madrid for 125,000 euros. Investigators suspect the money used might have come from the alleged kickbacks the scheme in the Transport Ministry received during the tenure of the socialist ex-director in charge. UCO agents registered the house in Valencia where the minister and his fiancée lived, and arrested her, who was released after refusing to testify until summoned by Judge Moreno.
