Ábalos Speaks Out After Civil Guard Raid

Former Spanish Minister Ábalos's Home Searched by Civil Guard A house search was conducted at the residence of José Luis Ábalos, a former Spanish minister from the PSOE party, on June 10, 2025. The Civil Guard carried out the operation, focusing on the investigation into alleged corruption related to public works contracts. Ábalos later commented to reporters, stating, "The truth is that it has been, let's say, delicate. But the intervention has been minimal, very professional, and very amiable." The authorities seized several devices, including portable digital memory units, and cloned his mobile phone. The timing of the search, months after the initial investigation, has prompted public discussion. The investigation continues, with potential implications for the PSOE party.
