Supreme Court hearing and detention risk for Ábalos

Former Transport Minister and PSOE deputy José Luis Ábalos faced a key Supreme Court hearing (judge Leopoldo Puente) after a UCO report alleging irregular/opaque income; prosecution considered but did not request preventive detention at the hearing; legal questions over deputy suspension, salary and voting rights under Congress rules; dispute with his lawyer and court order to appoint new counsel; related political fallout and Sánchez's comments on party cash payments.
