The judge investigates another 18 former senior officials from the PSOE era in the Junta de Andalucía for injecting millions in funds to Santana Motor "without any control"

Judge José Ignacio Vilaplana is investigating the mismanagement of public funds in the Linares Futuro Plan, initiated by the PSOE government to support workers after Santana Motor's closure. Over 600 million euros were spent without proper oversight, mirroring the ERE scandal. Eighteen former officials are now under investigation, including Antonio Ávila Cano and Juan María González. The judge's inquiry focuses on potential administrative misconduct and misappropriation of funds, with hearings scheduled around the upcoming elections. The case highlights irregularities in the financial transfers made to former Santana employees and suppliers, lacking legal compliance.
