The case of the Attorney General is in the spotlight. After the latest information about the alleged deletion of messages and the supposed contact with Telefónica became known, investigators are closing in on Attorney General Álvaro García Ortiz.

Allegedly, García Ortiz requested technical advice from the National Police's Central Cybersecurity Brigade. This, after Supreme Court Judge Ángel Luis Hurtado ordered the Civil Guard's Central Operational Unit to try to recover deleted messages from his mobile phone.

According to what was published by El Confidencial, they reported that the first contact occurred last Thursday. This coincides with an alleged informal request from García Ortiz's circle to Telefónica to obtain the call traffic record.

Allegedly and according to the cited media, that day, a collaborator of the Attorney General approached the National Police. This, with the aim of expressing interest in resolving technical doubts related to the unit specialized in cybercrime. The next day, the Prosecutor's Office formalized the request through a Ministry of Justice official.

The request was directed directly to Commissioner Juan Carlos Sancho, head of the Central Cybersecurity Brigade. According to El Confidencial, neither the National Police nor the Attorney General's Office have wanted to comment on the scope of this "advice."

García Ortiz is charged with an alleged crime of revealing secrets linked to Isabel Díaz Ayuso's boyfriend, Alberto González Amador. During the investigation, he has criticized the UCO's reports. To the point of accusing them of containing "serious irregularities," which led the judge to publicly support the "professionalism" of the Civil Guard agents.

This new and alleged approach by the Attorney General to the National Police suggests he may have resorted in parallel to another institution. All to seek technical support while the case continues to develop.
