Legal proceedings have been initiated regarding the alleged irregular use of public funds in Spain. In Madrid, the Provincial Court has ordered an investigation into whether Víctor de Aldama received €8 million from the state-owned entity Correos without a formal contract. This probe, prompted by an appeal from the Vox party, includes examining suspicious contracts related to security, climate control, and a Correos Cargo agreement with the airline Evelop that allegedly transferred financial losses to the state.

Separately, Spain’s Court of Auditors is seeking to recover over €400,000 in public funds linked to the Badajoz province. This follows a court ruling that described the creation of public employment positions for David Sánchez, brother of the Spanish Prime Minister, and associate Luis María Carrero, as “faked” and “purely cosmetic.” The recovery efforts aim to reclaim approximately €340,572 paid to Sánchez and €86,988 paid to Carrero, plus interest.
