The investigation by the Guardia Civil's Central Operative Unit (UCO) uncovered that the Spanish Ministry of Transport was allegedly used to place women connected to former Minister José Luis Ábalos into jobs. The focus is on two women: Jésica and Claudia Montes, a former Miss Asturias.
Claudia Montes, after winning Miss Asturias in 2017, obtained a position at Logirail (a company under the Ministry of Transport) in 2019. Following her dismissal, she threatened to expose the alleged fraudulent nature of her hiring process and accused Ábalos' advisor, Koldo García, of inappropriate behavior, claiming to have recorded evidence. Her messages to Koldo detail her frustrations and threats, with Koldo ultimately alerting Ábalos, who instructed her to seek other assistance.
The investigation reveals that Ábalos was involved in securing Montes' job and that subsequent communications indicate efforts to resolve the situation, ultimately leading to Montes' threats and accusations. Koldo, as Ábalos' advisor, played a key role in the communications and interactions with Montes.
The investigation also includes Jésica's case, where she allegedly received a public salary despite not working. Jésica has already testified before a judge. The outcome of the Supreme Court's consideration of the UCO report remains to be seen.
