Ex-police chief and retired commissioner testify in Operation Kitchen trial
Eugenio Pino and José Manuel Villarejo testified in the Operation Kitchen trial, accused of a plot to prevent damaging PP material from reaching the Gürtel case judge. Pino admitted authorizing reserve funds for Bárcenas' driver, claiming it was to locate hidden money, not related to Gürtel. Villarejo implicated Mariano Rajoy and the CNI, suggesting the operation was used to find information affecting the former PM.
