Supreme Court Raids Home of Former Minister Ábalos: Corruption Probe Intensifies

Supreme Court Orders Search of Former Minister Ábalos' Home in Valencia A search warrant was executed at the Valencia residence of former Spanish Transport Minister José Luis Ábalos on June 10, 2025, as directed by the Supreme Court. The investigation centers on allegations of commissions Ábalos received during his tenure. The operation, carried out by the Civil Guard's Central Operational Unit, began at 7:15 AM. Ábalos was present during the search, accompanied by his lawyer. "The operation is ongoing," reported a journalist present at the scene. "The focus appears to be on documents and evidence related to alleged commissions from public works contracts." The investigation has been ongoing for some time, with Ábalos previously admitting to receiving payments in court. The search aims to gather further evidence to support or refute these claims. The outcome of the investigation will likely have significant political implications.
