The meeting, which took place at the foot of the runway at Madrid airport, will be one of the issues focused on by the Senate's parliamentary commission on the Goldo case.

Then they reached the flight stairs. Apollos, Goldo and a third man boarded. The Commissioner, instead of boarding the plane, stayed at the foot of the rail.
