The latest report from the UCO of the Civil Guard, which is investigating possible irregularities in the mask case, states that Armengol spoke with one of the main investigated individuals, Koldo García, about the purchase of sanitary material that is now under judicial scrutiny. Nevertheless, the then president of the Government soon delegated the management of the contract to the director of management of the Health Service of the Balearic Islands, Manuel Palomino. Costa has insinuated that Armegol did not tell the truth when she denied having been aware of this contract, as well as when she said she did not remember speaking with García. Furthermore, he has accused her of opening the doors of the Consulate to the offenders: "She let the corrupt trap in up to the kitchen."</p>]]></description>
