The Supreme Court gives Ábalos, Koldo, and Aldama 15 days to pay 647,000 euros for the conviction in the 'mask case'

The Supreme Court has initiated the enforcement of the sentence from June 22 in the Koldo case, requiring three convicted individuals to pay a total of €647,000 in fines, confiscations, and compensations. Former Transport Minister José Luis Ábalos must pay €52,500, his former advisor Koldo García Izaguirre €45,750, and businessman Víctor de Aldama €75,000. They are also liable for the confiscation of €430,298 obtained from the illegal sale of masks. Additionally, Ábalos and Koldo are ordered to compensate public companies for hiring Ábalos' partner. They have 15 days to comply, or enforcement actions will follow. The court also set prison terms, with Ábalos facing a maximum of 16.5 years, Koldo 15 years, and Aldama benefiting from a suspended sentence contingent on community service.
