The Key Move by Uco That Makes García Ortiz Tremble

The Attorney General, Álvaro García Ortiz, is navigating a rather treacherous judicial path. Civil Guard investigators have determined that the indicted prosecutor deleted key information from his mobile phone and also that García Ortiz allegedly disposed of some devices.

Judge Ángel Hurtado orders new proceedings to locate the discarded phones of the Attorney General. The Supreme Court magistrate continues the search for the missing communications of the Attorney General. This is within the framework of the investigation for the revelation of secrets affecting Isabel Díaz Ayuso's boyfriend.

This Monday, he issued a new order indicating a new key step. In addition to the WhatsApp messages and emails required by the Civil Guard's UCO not being found, the mobile devices that Álvaro García Ortiz disposed of have also not appeared. This, after making changes of terminal.

In light of this situation, and at the request of the Madrid president's partner, the judge has ordered new proceedings to try to recover those devices.

Specifically, he has requested the area in charge of mobile devices of the Ministries of Presidency, Justice, and Finance to deliver García Ortiz's phones. In particular, those he has returned since March 7, 2024. The date on which the Attorney General's Office received the first report on the investigation for alleged tax crimes of Ayuso's boyfriend.

The magistrate asks that both Justice and Finance provide the agents with the devices returned due to disuse or previous renewals, thus covering almost a year of terminal changes. This is not the first time an attempt has been made to clarify this matter. In January, Hurtado had already requested information from the IT section of the Attorney General's Office, but the response obtained did not solve his doubts.

According to that department, the last mobile change recorded in their system occurred on May 24, 2024. A date that doesn't coincide with the findings of the UCO, which places the device replacement on October 23. This, just after the Supreme Court began the investigation against García Ortiz.

The magistrate in charge of the case is trying to recover the mobile that García Ortiz had, as he considers it a key piece of the investigation against Pedro Sánchez's Attorney General. It is the mobile that García Ortiz kept during the five days before the leak.
