The Prosecution Opposes Lifting the Indictment of Company Executives Accused by UCO of Paying "Without Justification" to Rubiales' Network

El Periódico Mediterráneo - General31 August 2026 at 19:12

The Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office requested that the processing of executives from the company Gruconsa not be lifted, accused by the Central Operational Unit (UCO) of the Civil Guard of making payments "without justification" to the alleged network led by the former president of the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF), Luis Rubiales. The Public Prosecutor's Office sent a written submission on August 27 to Judge Delia Rodrigo, responsible for the Supercosa case, expressing its opposition to lifting the indictment.

The UCO is investigating whether Gruconsa made payments to Rubiales' network without valid reasons for doing so. The company is thus at the center of suspicions of an alleged criminal organization that allegedly diverted funds from the Spanish football federation during Rubiales' management.

The Supercosa case, which investigates this alleged corruption network, has Delia Rodrigo as the presiding judge. The newspaper had exclusive access to the document presented by the Prosecutor's Office last August, which supports the request to maintain Gruconsa's executives as investigated parties in the proceedings.
