Ábalos’s trial comes to an end this Wednesday with seven questions still to be resolved

The trial for the so-called mask case will be ready for judgment this Wednesday, barring any last-minute changes. The three defendants, led by former minister José Luis Ábalos, have given their respective explanations, some more accurate than others. These, along with more than 70 witness and documentary pieces of evidence, will be the entire set of evidence that the seven judges will begin to evaluate from Thursday to reach a verdict of conviction or acquittal. The nature of the court is to try to issue a sentence as quickly as possible to avoid unnecessary speculation, so the decision is already expected to be known before the summer holidays.
