Okdiario editor pays 242,000 euros for Koldo García defense

Legal documents submitted to Judge Santiago Pedraz reveal that Dos Mil Palabras, the company that publishes Okdiario, paid 242,000 euros for the legal defense of Koldo García. The payments, totaling 242,000 euros, were made in two installments: 181,500 euros on November 27, 2025, and 60,500 euros on January 23, 2026.

Leticia de la Hoz, the lawyer for García, provided these invoices to distance the PSOE from the defense costs. Previously, prosecutors and other accusers had suggested the political party was responsible for the payments. The first payment coincided with the publication of an interview between Eduardo Inda and García.

This development shifts the narrative regarding the funding of García’s defense, which had been used by some to allege the existence of political slush funds within the PSOE. The lawyer has also requested that the PSOE provide all records related to her services between 2021 and 2025.
