The Judicial Police have carried out the dumping of one of the mobile phones of former soccer player Carlos Aranda , considered the main ringleader of the so-called 'Operation Oikos' and claims to have found indications of a new match-fixing in the First Division. On this occasion, the meeting between Getafe and Villarreal, at the Alfonso Pérez Coliseum, on May 18, 2019. That match ended 2-2 and the Azulón team remained at the gates of the Champions League.

The investigators emphasize that they have found a conversation held between Aranda and retired player Paco Esteban , "who was a member of several teams in the Spanish League, including Elche CF. In one of the conversations that both have, Aranda tells Esteban:" Do you want to earn a good piece? (sic)? How are you getting along with the captain of Getafe? "To which his interlocutor responds:" With (Jorge) Molina very well. "Not surprisingly, both were partners in the team from Elche during the 2009/2010 season.

Aranda then indicates to Esteban: "Find out if they have it done and I'll give you a good bite to spend the summer [...] Don't take too long, since there's little time." The former Elche player then asks Aranda how much money Molina and he can take for the management. "10,000 bucks", advances the former Real Madrid player. Esteban informs Aranda that Villarreal has given "two million to seven players to leave."

The Police consider "this conversation of considerable importance since it shows Aranda's proposal to manipulate the match between Getafe and Villarreal." "Half an hour after the last communication between the two, Francisco Esteban would have already called Jorge Molina and the latter would have confirmed that seven players from Villarreal CF had been offered two million for losing the game , confirming that the fix had already been proposed "to facilitate access to the Champions League.

With these elements, the Police requests the Investigating Court number 5 of Huesca the complete traffic of calls of those involved to deepen the investigation.
