El MundoIndependent🔒CenterFactual 88Objective 856 days ago The judge extends the patrimonial investigation of Santos Cerdán to the accounts of his wife, daughter, sister and brother-in-lawIn Spain, Judge Ismael Moreno of the National Court has expanded the patrimonial investigation into Santos Cerdán, a former high-ranking member of the Spanish Socialist Workers' Party (PSOE), to include his wife, daughter, sister, and brother-in-law. This decision was made at the request of the Anti-Corruption Unit (UCO) and supported by the Public Prosecutor’s Office. The investigation focuses on potential undeclared income linked to the construction firm Servinabar, which Cerdán is alleged to have co-owned with businessman Antxon Alonso. Investigators claim that Cerdán and his family benefited from funds generated by Servinabar over nearly a decade, including the purchase of a property worth almost one million euros in central Madrid. The UCO has confirmed that the Cerdán family received at least 323,178.41 euros from Servinabar.
