Salvados

returns tonight

and returns with one of the characters who offers the most headlines in each of his interviews:

Mario Conde

.

In the premiere of the new season of Salvados (9:30 p.m. on laSexta)

Gonzo

interviews the former banker, who receives the show's team at his Sevillan estate in

Los Carrizos

to go over his rise and fall on the 25th anniversary of his first sentence.

But not only his rise and fall but also his relationship with

the emeritus

.

At his farm, one of the few properties that avoided expropriation after the

Banesto case

trial ,

Conde

assures

Gonzo

that a banker has more power than the Prime Minister.

The former banker recounts how

political parties were irregularly financed

from his bank , giving details and mentioning his own names.

In the early 1990s,

Mario Conde

was the picture of professional success.

With less than 40 years old he was already in charge of one of the main banks in the country, all the politicians wanted to be photographed with him and he was on the covers of gossip magazines.

A meteoric career that could have taken him very far but was cut short when the Government intervened

Banesto

and discovered

an economic hole of 3,600 million euros

.

In

Salvados

,

Gonzo

will ask him about his relationship with

Juan Carlos I

and

Conde

will admit that they had such a close relationship with the king emeritus that

he became his personal banker

.

Did he help you in his financial investments?

Did he place friends of the monarch at the head of Banesto group companies?

Did you know about his operations in tax havens?

Did

Juan Carlos I

buy shares with privileged information?

The former banker will admit to having used his power to stop the publication of information about the private life of

the emeritus king

and that he recommended the then king to appoint a friend of his as head of the Royal House.

Conde

ends up reflecting that the power he had then "was too much power in the hands of a

40-year

-old boy . I have never been a saint."

Did you feel betrayed by the

king emeritus

when he did not intervene to stop

Banesto

's intervention that ended up taking him to jail?

Did Conde

later blackmail

the Government of

Felipe González

with recordings of the then king?

How did that close friendship relationship end?

Gonzo won't leave any questions for the king and Mario Conde will answer all of them in

Salvados

.

Beyond the interview with

Conde

,

Salvados

will continue betting on the hallmarks that have defined the format since its inception in 2008 and will continue to combine current political issues with interviews and reports on social issues and denunciations.

Gonzo

will hit the streets to learn first-hand how the current runaway inflation is affecting citizens in the second installment of this season.

And in upcoming

Salvados

, he will focus on the other side of

the football business at the gates of the World Cup

to be held in a country like Qatar and will review the

Prestige

disaster when it will be 20 years since the shipwreck that filled the coasts with tar. Galician.

With

Gonzo

at the helm since he replaced Jordi Évole in October 2019,

Salvados

averages a 7.4% share and about 1.3 million viewers.

The

laSexta

space remains the leader compared to its direct competitor and has brought together more than 3.4 million unique viewers on average every Sunday.

Salvados said

goodbye to the course on February 6, with

Gonzo

's interview with

Yolanda Díaz

, which became the most watched of the season, registering more than 1.4 million viewers and a 9% share;

the best data of her in more than a year, demonstrating the good health of the space of

laSexta

, which is on the way to reaching 15 years since its premiere.
