The former Minister of Health will be investigated for "abuse of office committed in collaboration" in concession procedures under the security measure "compulsion to appear" and "ban on traveling abroad". While he was placed in custody in connection with abuses at SASPAC, while he was at its head.

In an official announcement, the Special Prosecution Office announced that the former minister has committed the criminal offense of abuse of office in relation to the procedures followed for the sterilization concession of surgical equipment worth 100 million euros.

Thus, according to the investigations conducted up to this stage, the former minister is accused of violating equality in public tenders or auctions.
