The Minister of Territorial Policy and former Canary Islands president, Ángel Víctor Torres, has accused the commissioner of the Koldo case, Víctor de Aldama, of lying to damage his political and personal image. Torres presented certificates from airline companies to prove that he was in the Canary Islands on the dates when Aldama claimed he was in an apartment in Madrid with 'young ladies'.
In a press conference at the headquarters of the Ministry of Territorial Policy, Torres denied the implicated businessman, who presented reservations for apartments booked through Airbnb to back his accusations. The certificates shown by the minister refute Aldama, as they indicate that he was in the Canary Islands at that time.
The Iberia certificate shows that on November 10, Torres was on a flight returning to the Canary Islands. In addition, the minister filed a second complaint for defamation after Aldama claimed in court that he was in apartments with 'young ladies'.
Torres insisted that the accusations against him are false and that the evidence demonstrates his presence in the Canary Islands on the specified dates. The minister emphasized that publicly presenting the certificates was necessary to refute the accusations and the pressure he had been facing.
The PSOE has filed a lawsuit against Aldama as a preliminary step to a criminal complaint, and a conciliation meeting will be held on March 4. Torres has pointed out that the accusations have a clear political purpose and has urged politicians to take responsibility for spreading unverified false information.
In conclusion, Ángel Víctor Torres has stated that the accusations against him are unfounded and that the evidence presented proves his location in the Canary Islands on the dates in question. The minister highlighted the need to refute these accusations to protect his image and denounced the pressure he has been subjected to.
