Luis Roldán Ibáñez was a Spanish Socialist Workers’ Party politician.
Roldan was the vice-chairman of the Civil Guard for the Spanish Socialist Workers’ Party when a huge scandal erupted in 1993.
His political career began with his entry into the PSOE in 1976.
In December 1982, he was appointed Government Delegate in Navarra, gaining great successes in the fight against ETA, including the dismantling of the leadership in Bidart, France.
José Luis Corcuera proposed him for General Director of the Civil Guard in 1986.
But in November 1993, Diario 16, uncovered the scandal, that Roldán had increased his current account by 400 million pesetas and nine real estate properties, which was impossible with a public salary of 400,000 pesetas.
The government dismissed Roldán on December 3.
This case, along with the GAL case, greatly contributed to the defeat of the PSOE in the 1996 general election.
Luis Roldan died on Thursday, March 24, 2022, in Zaragoza at the age of 78.
