This is the Former Judge Who Tried to Save Sánchez's Brother

A Convicted Former Judge Attempts to Intervene in the Case Against Pedro Sánchez's Brother. Luis José Sáenz de Tejada Vallejo, a former judge expelled from the judicial career after being convicted of gender violence, has attempted to intervene in the case investigating David Sánchez. Additionally, he has published several videos on YouTube in which he makes baseless accusations against the investigating judge, Beatriz Biedma, and questions the development of the judicial process.

With the intention of gaining prominence, Sáenz de Tejada has tried to join the case as a popular prosecution-. This would have allowed him to access information from the case file. However, his request has been denied.

Before becoming a media figure on social media, he was a magistrate. But the Supreme Court upheld his expulsion after sentencing him to 33 months in prison for habitual psychological violence against his ex-wife, also a judge.

Currently, Sáenz de Tejada serves as the lawyer for former magistrate Fernando Presencia, who is serving a sentence of almost three years in prison. This is for false accusation and slander against the senior prosecutor of Talavera de la Reina. In his attempt to break into the case against Sánchez's brother, Sáenz de Tejada has gone so far as to disparage Judge Biedma, whom he accuses of violating essential rights.

The magistrate asked him to justify his legitimate interest in the investigation and requested a bond of 10,000 euros, the same amount required of the other popular prosecutions.

In his brief, the former judge, who currently presents himself as a lawyer, argued that his motivation was to contribute to the fight against corruption. He asserted that as a citizen, he has the right to ensure the protection of public funds. Additionally, he highlighted his history of denouncing corruption since 2013 and his creation of an association to combat it.

However, the judge recalled that Sáenz de Tejada had been expelled from the judiciary. This occurred after he was sentenced in 2017 to a prison term for intentional crimes, which was reflected in the BOE.

She also noted that, in his "fight" against corruption, the former judge has filed legal actions not only against the professionals involved. But also against the members of the CGPJ who decided his removal as a magistrate.
