Attorney General García Ortiz Against the Ropes After Witness Statements

The statements of witnesses and defendants in the case against García Ortiz have revealed a pattern. The same one that points directly to the Attorney General.

Pilar Rodríguez, provincial prosecutor of Madrid, testified as a defendant last Thursday, and in her words before the judge, she stated that "I simply receive instructions and execute them."

Once the famous press release was made, which Lastra refused to publish, she directly asked García Ortiz:

Álvaro, did you leak it?
