The trial of the one known as mask case continues in the Supreme Court leaving new images that fuel the debate outside the courtroom. While the Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office maintains its requests for sentences —seven years for Víctor de Aldama, 24 for José Luis Ábalos and 19 and a half years for Koldo García—, the media focus has shifted to a video that shows the closeness between the businessman and the ultra agitator Vito Quiles.
The images, disseminated by the journalist Alfonso Pérez Medina, show Víctor de Aldama greeting Quiles closely at the exit of the Supreme Court, with a handshake and a pat on the neck. A gesture that contrasts with Aldama's own statements days before, when he assured: “I am apolitical and I am not from any party”.
In parallel, el Partido Popular has requested a reduction of the sentence for Aldama, going from seven years to five years and two months, which could avoid his entry into prison after his collaboration with justice.
The controversy expands with another political front: the recent recording of a video by Quiles in an office of the Congress ceded by the PP deputy Alma Alonso. The fact has led the PSOE to demand explanations from the Partido Popular about whether it authorized the use of these facilities.
According to the Congress Regulations, recording in offices without authorization or accessing restricted areas may constitute a serious infraction, which adds pressure to a case that already mixes judicial, political, and media aspects in the same scenario.
Aldama on Wednesday during his statement in the Supremo: "I am apolitical and I am not from any party. When I do business, I don't care if it's blue, red, or green."
