Serra disbursed close to 600,000 dollars from the reserved funds of the Ministry of the Interior for the 66 pages report.[3][4][5]

Roldan disappeared for a time in 1994 as a judge prepared to bring corruption charges against him. In a secret interview with El Mundo, Roldan threatened to release information that would damage the government. 'I will not go to prison alone,' he said. Roldan showed El Mundo part of the official report, in English, and a bill for $500,000 from the Kroll Associates investigation agency in 1992.[6]

He told the newspaper that copies of the report, known as the 'Dossier Crillon', were given to Prime Minister Felipe Gonzalez, Serra and former Finance Minister Carlos Solchaga.

Boris Tadić“In Serbia, for example, we used the Club de Madrid to get the former Spanish MOD, Narcis Serra, to act as mentor to the then MOD Boris Tadic. I brought Tadic to London via the Atlantic Treaty Association (of which IfS is now the UK Rep) to expand his horizons and link him to MPs. He eventually became President.”Boris Tadić
