• The commissioner. García Castaño's confession before the Kitchen judge: "Rajoy and Cospedal were up to date"

  • Former treasurer Luis Bárcenas before the judge of 'Kitchen': "There was an operation of the Ministry of the Interior to intimidate me"

The driver of the Bárcenas family,

Sergio Ríos,

explained to Judge Manuel García Castellón how he was caught by the police to spy on

Luis Bárcenas.

In his statement before the Court of Instruction number 6 of the National Court, he told how the first contact he had with the Police was when several agents approached him in a cafeteria and approached him, paying for his drink and introducing himself.

But Ríos assured that the first major contact to capture him was made by Commissioner

Enrique García Castaño,

former head of the Central Unit for Operational Support (UCAO), who did not hesitate to qualify as "The César of the Police" for the amount of decorations he accumulated.

He explained that he approached him when he was taking the Alfa Romeo of the former PP treasurer to the workshop and that he blurted out that he had to be a "good citizen" and collaborate with the Police by providing information about his boss in relation to his alleged front men.

After consulting with another commissioner he knew,

Andrés Gómez Gordo,

former head of Security for

María Dolores de Cospedal

in Castilla-La Mancha, accepted the assignment, but found that the interlocutor who ended up being appointed was Commissioner

José Villarejo.

"I said yes because it was the Police, it was the Police," repeated

Ríos

on several occasions

, indicating that the mandate they gave him was that "it should not hinder them or touch their morale" when carrying out the follow-ups they had planned. deploy in each displacement of the

Bárcenas

family

.

In return, he confessed that he was rewarded with reserved funds.

He maintained that he did not charge a fixed amount but that he was periodically given an envelope with cash.

Of course, he denied at all times having committed any illegality.

"I would never commit a crime," he told the judge and anti-corruption prosecutors, who denied that he stole documentation from

Bárcenas

to give it to the police.

An extreme that, however, has been reported by

García Castaño,

who after reaching a collaboration agreement with the Prosecutor's Office, revealed how the driver stole

Bárcenas'

mobile phones

and proceeded to clone them in a central Madrid cafeteria.

The contents of the devices were immediately handed over to the former Secretary of State for the Interior

, Francisco Martínez,

who has denied having received said material.

In what the statements of

Ríos

and

García Castaño

did coincide

is that in parallel to the device launched by the Police, they ran into follow-ups carried out by other intelligence services that deployed their own 'Kitchen'.
