Investigative Journalist Ketty Garat's Work on Sánchez Corruption Praised Amidst High-Profile Case Developments

Entrepreneur Martin Varsavsky has publicly lauded investigative journalist Ketty Garat, highlighting her "revelatory" work in uncovering alleged corruption linked to Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez. Varsavsky, known for his participation in the television program "Horizonte," recommended following Garat, stating that "Her articles are key to understanding the corruption of Pedro Sánchez." This endorsement comes as several high-profile corruption cases involving figures close to the Prime Minister continue to unfold in Spain.

Ketty Garat, a journalist for The Objective, has been at the forefront of reporting on various corruption scandals, including the ongoing "Koldo Case." This case centers on alleged irregularities in mask procurement during the COVID-19 pandemic and has implicated former transport minister José Luis Ábalos and his advisor Koldo García Izaguirre, along with other political figures. Garat's reporting has consistently provided critical insights into these complex investigations.

Recent developments include the provisional imprisonment of Santos Cerdán, formerly the secretary of organization for the PSOE and a close associate of Sánchez, on charges of membership in a criminal organization, bribery, and influence peddling. Garat reacted to Cerdán's arrest by stating, "We did our job against those who signed a manifesto against the judicial and media coup," referring to a 2024 manifesto that criticized investigations into government officials as "hoaxes" and "mud." Her work has been instrumental in detailing the intricacies of these cases.

Garat's investigative efforts have also extended to other allegations, including those surrounding Sánchez's wife, Begoña Gómez, and the "Sánchez S.A." documentary, which she contributed to. The documentary explores various corruption claims and political pacts made by the socialist leader. These ongoing investigations and the scrutiny from journalists like Garat underscore a period of intense political and judicial activity in Spain.
