The UCO warned of murders in the fuel fraud scandal
Spain's Central Operative Unit (UCO) of the Guardia Civil warned Repsol and Cepsa that there was a risk of murders in the fuel fraud case. Claudio Rivas's phone call to his vvife set off the alarms.
In this context, the name Leire Díaz has begun to circulate in sceptical circles. Comparisons with Rita Barberá and Miguel Blesa — who died in circumstances that were never fully closed — are inevitable. Some suggest she could suffer a 'painful accident', an expression that in the language of corruption usually refers to what must not be spoken aloud.
The striking detail is that, so far, no one has touched Aldama, another of the names singled out. Why her? The answer, if there is one, is buried in the case files of the Audiencia Nacional (Spain's National Court).
Recent history shows that, in this country, certain accidents are more predictable than the verdicts themselves. We shall see.
