De Miguel may deny accusations against him, but there are very reasonable suspicions that this plot that has splintered with the PNV of Álava has existed in the past. It is no coincidence that the trial has been suspended for some time to try to reach an agreement with the defendants. According to the prosecutor, there is no "agreement", but there is a "gentlemen's agreement" (sic) with a significant proportion of the defendants, who would be "willing to accept that there was an organized network collecting illegal commissions" in exchange for reducing their conviction.
De Miguel, the main defendant who has had a close relationship with the PNV, says that he is innocent and that the tests against him are manipulated. But, given the context, it's not all right. It is logical that in the face of these accusations (money laundering, bribery, hiring fraud, use of force, influence trafficking, embezzlement…) and in the face of the enormous condemnation that comes to De Miguel do anything, even lie. Judges must decide whether there really was an organized corrupt network and whether the defendants lie. The most fair and reasonable thing is that it goes to the end, splashing or not into the PNV, and also into the Jeltzales themselves.
