The Central Operational Unit (UCO) of the Civil Guard has revealed in its latest report on the ‘Koldo case’ that the former Secretary of Organization of the PSOE Santos Cerdán and his family environment would have benefited economically from Servinabar, one of the companies allegedly favored with irregular awards of public works investigated by the Supreme Court. Among the expenses detected were payments made in establishments in Ibiza, which reinforces the police thesis that the card linked to the company was used for personal purposes.
The report, to which Europa Press has had access, analyzes the relationship between Servinabar -of which Cerdán is a 45% owner-, Acciona and the former ministerial advisor Koldo García. The UCO suspects that part of the contracts obtained by these companies through joint ventures could have been awarded in exchange for commissions.
Non-activity payrolls and screen cooperatives
The investigators review the accounts of Servinabar since its creation in 2015 and conclude that both Cerdán and several relatives would have been beneficiaries of part of the company’s assets. The UCO points out that the wife of the socialist leader, Francisca Muñoz, was hired as a “working partner” of the Noran cooperative between March and July 2018, a period in which she received 9,500 euros without any labor activity on record.
In a manuscript seized in a search, the agents even found an annotation questioning her work: “Francisca Muñoz. Traceability. What did she do? Work?”.
Cerdán’s sister, Belén, was also reportedly paid by Servinabar: 22,324 euros in five months in 2020 as “administrative”. He then went on to work for the Erkolan cooperative, which between 2015 and 2025 received €379,577 from Servinabar. According to the Guardia Civil, the sharp increase in these payments coincides with the incorporation of Belén Cerdán, which would indicate that the company actually assumed her payroll.
The brother-in-law, incorporated into Acciona’s construction works
Cerdán’s brother-in-law, Antonio Muñoz, was hired by Servinabar between September 2019 and December 2022, receiving 53,130 euros. According to the UCO, his incorporation to an emergency work at the access to the Port of Seville was facilitated by means of a special certificate to circumvent sanitary restrictions during the pandemic.
Rents, furniture and credit card charges
The investigation also reveals that Servinabar would have paid two rentals in Madrid for Cerdán and his family between 2017 and 2019 for a total of 62,840 euros. In addition, the company paid furniture for more than 7,800 euros, including purchases in El Corte Inglés managed by the leader’s wife.
To this is added the use by Cerdán and his family of a Servinabar credit card, with which 33,574 euros in payments were made, many of them linked to stays and meals in different parts of Spain.
Among the expenses, almost 1,800 euros were spent in establishments in Ibiza, as well as in Tenerife, Navarra, Seville and Denia. The agents interpret that the card was used to cover personal expenses, something that concerned the owners of the company themselves. In tapped conversations, Antxon Alonso and his wife criticized the behavior of the Cerdán couple: “Spending and spending. Everything, of the good, the best. And on top of that they are not discreet at all”.
The last payment registered with the card was made on February 19, 2024, just one day before Koldo Garcia’s arrest.
