What are the immediate consequences of the Supreme Court's decision regarding José Luis Ábalos's appeal?

The Spanish Supreme Court rejected former Minister José Luis Ábalos' appeal against the suspension of his immunity. The court cited sufficient evidence of potential economic benefits received from Víctor de Aldama, beyond mere cash payments, justifying the investigation into corruption charges including criminal organization, influence peddling, bribery, and embezzlement. Ábalos's parliamentary immunity has hindered the investigation of his assets, preventing measures to limit fundamental rights until the suplicatorio is granted.
