Koldo Case

The Koldo Case (Spanish: Caso Koldo) or Ábalos Case (Caso Ábalos), is an ongoing corruption prosecution conducted by the Spanish Supreme Court that began on 28 February 2024. The case is centred around former transport minister José Luis Ábalos and his former advisor Koldo García Izaguirre. The case involves several political figures, primarily allies of Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, and was originally sparked by questions over the purchase of masks during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Over time, the case started to be linked to a series of other scandals which had come about during Sánchez's second and third ministries, including: the Delcygate scandal of 2020, in which the Venezuelan minister met with key government figures despite being under international sanctions; an ongoing case surrounding Sánchez's wife Begoña Gómez; and a series of affairs by Ábalos which ended in his relationships being employed in government despite having little experience, and receiving large benefits.
