Spain's top court jails ex-Transport Minister Ábalos over pandemic contract corruption charges, citing flight risk.
Spain's Supreme Court has ordered pretrial detention for former Transport Minister José Luis Ábalos, citing a risk of flight, in a corruption probe over alleged manipulation of pandemic-era public contracts for medical supplies.
He faces 24 years in prison on charges of bribery, influence peddling, and embezzlement, alongside his aide Koldo García and another ex-official, all of whom deny wrongdoing.
The case, part of broader scrutiny of government conduct during the pandemic, has strained Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez’s coalition and fueled speculation about early elections.
