• Koldo García, personal advisor to José Luis Ábalos, was arrested alongside 19 others for allegedly being involved in a scheme of commissions received for massive purchases of masks during the pandemic.
• The contracts under investigation total at least 50 million euros, of which allegedly nine would have been shared among the individuals being investigated.
• García was a driver for Ábalos before gaining positions of power, being his shadow in his rise in Pedro Sánchez's PSOE.
• This scandal can be a problem for Sánchez, as his government has presented itself as a government free from suspicion.

Conclusion: The PSOE and the Government must show transparency and take the necessary measures to maintain their legitimacy and the ethical standards they have demanded of others.
