José Luis Ábalos's legal team signals upcoming developments in September

The legal situation surrounding former PSOE Secretary of Organization José Luis Ábalos continues to pose challenges for the administration of Pedro Sánchez. Ábalos is currently contesting a Supreme Court sentence that imposed a prison term of 24 years and three months related to the ‘mask case’.

His legal team has initiated proceedings to challenge the ruling, including filing a nullity incident with the Supreme Court as a precursor to a potential appeal to the Constitutional Court. Representatives for Ábalos have stated that ‘there will be news in September’, though they have not specified whether this refers to a judicial decision, a new legal maneuver, or other developments.
