• José Luis Ábalos might be implicated by the Supreme Court following the revelations of a report from the Central Operational Unit (UCO) of the Civil Guard.
• Ábalos is alleged to have used his institutional contacts to benefit businessman Víctor de Aldama, and himself, in a corruption network.
• The report highlights a series of suspicious operations and payments, including the concession of 435 million euros to Air Europa and the purchase of a villa for Ábalos.
• The visit of Delcy Rodríguez, Venezuelan vice president, to Spain in 2020 is being examined as Ábalos could have been the orchestrator of this visit.
• The PSOE has distanced itself from Ábalos, which is causing complications for Sánchez and his government.

Conclusion: This corruption case is alarming given Ábalos' close ties to socialist power. It's imperative to continue the investigations and strengthen control mechanisms to stave off corruption in the future.
