The Parliament of the Canary Islands has summoned businessman Víctor de Aldama to testify on January 30 for the Masks case, in the commission that investigates the purchase of sanitary material on the islands during the pandemic.
This is the second time that Parliament has summoned Aldama to testify in the commission that analyzes the political responsibilities inherent in the management of the contracting by the Canary Health Service of the Government of the Canary Islands of sanitary material to deal with the effects of covid-19, although on the first occasion he did not appear because his summons could not be formally notified.
Sources from the Parliament of the Canary Islands specified that his summons was requested when the businessman, alleged commission agent in the Koldo case, was in the Soto del Real penitentiary in pre-trial detention, which he left hours after testifying before the judge that he had paid commissions to socialist leaders.
Víctor de Aldama is being investigated in the National Court in two different cases and courts: an alleged hydrocarbon fraud that kept him in the aforementioned provisional prison and which is being investigated by Judge Santiago Pedraz, and the so-called Koldo case, which revolves around alleged commissions in public contracts for masks.
The businessman will appear, at the request of the Canarian Nationalist, Popular and Vox groups, to analyze the political responsibilities inherent in the management of the contracting by the Canary Health Service of the Government of the Canary Islands of sanitary material to deal with the effects of COVID-19, as detailed by the Parliament of the Canary Islands on its website.
Antonio Olivera, former director of the Canary Health Service and current chief of staff of Minister Ángel Víctor Torres, and Ricardo Pérez González, Deputy Minister of Communication when Torres was president of the Canary Islands, will also attend the same commission as Aldama.
