Ex PSOE Secretary Remains in Custody Amid Corruption Investigation

The Supreme Court has upheld the placing on remand of former PSOE Secretary Santos Cerdán.

The court cites strong evidence linking Cerdán to a corruption case involving public works contracts.

According to the ruling, there is a significant risk of destruction of evidence if he were released.

The appeals court dismissed Cerdán’s defence, which argued that the ruling violated his presumption of innocence and lacked sufficient criminal indicators.

Cerdán is under investigation for his role in a scheme of receiving commissions tied to public works allocations.

Mr. Cerdán denies any wrongdoing.
