Spied on everybody
In 2021, former banker Mario Conde assured that Prime Minister Felipe González and Serra "controlled the [intelligence service] Cesid and used it for their purposes by embezzling money from the Spaniards". The former banker calls Serra a "regrettable character" and accuses him of using his power in those positions "to spy on everyone who seemed important to him, including the King", Juan Carlos I.[2]
Conde adds that it was the former Secretary of State Julián Sancristóbal, with whom he happened to be in prison together with after being convicted of the GAL plot, who told him in prison that "Serra told him that the Bourbons had to be controlled because history showed that they were very dangerous because they had no loyalties to anyone."[2]

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 Chris Donnelly | 15 October 2018 |
