García Ortiz to testify before the Supreme Court regarding Ayuso's partner case
The leadings suggest that García Ortiz may have had a "significant involvement" in the leak of information related to Alberto González Amador
Next Wednesday Attorney General Álvaro García Ortiz will appear before the Supreme Court as a person under investigation.
The case under investigation involves the leak of information related to Alberto González Amador, the boyfriend of Isabel Díaz Ayuso.
The evidence suggests that García Ortiz had a "significant involvement" in the leak that has sparked great controversy in the judicial sphere.
The investigation was driven by reports from the UCO (Civil Guard's Central Operative Unit), which attribute a central role to the Attorney General.
García Ortiz's statement comes a day after the Supreme Court considers the appeal against his renewal in office.
In 2022, the Government renewed García Ortiz's term as Attorney General, but the Independent and Professional Association of Prosecutors (APIF in Spanish) filed an appeal.
This appeal is being studied by the court, adding tension to the already-complex judicial landscape the Attorney General is facing.
The case is related to the leak of confidential details about tax negotiations involving González Amador.
González Amador's defense offered a deal in exchange for admitting to tax offenses, which was later leaked by the newspaper El Mundo.
The leak triggered a series of communications that, according to the judge, were orchestrated by García Ortiz, taking advantage of his position of power.
The case judge, Ángel Hurtado, highlighted that the Attorney General played a key role in the dissemination of confidential information.
On March 13, El Mundo published details about the leak, which triggered a frantic exchange of communications within the Prosecutor's Office.
This exchange was managed by García Ortiz, who coordinated the actions of the prosecutors involved in the case, according to UCO reports.
As for Diego Villafañe, the number two of the Technical Secretariat of the Attorney General's Office, his statement is scheduled for February 5.
This case has caused great interest in the judicial sphere and could have serious repercussions for the image and future of García Ortiz.
The Attorney General's Office is under intense scrutiny. García Ortiz's statement before the Supreme Court will be a key moment in the case.
The details of the leak are still being analyzed, while the trial is expected to progress and the responsibilities of those involved are defined.
This case highlights the importance of maintaining confidentiality in legal processes and avoiding the abuse of power in the system.
