Supreme Court Investigates Attorney General's Team for Alleged Leaks Amidst Political Fallout
In a shocking turn of events, revelations have surfaced regarding a scandal involving the team of Attorney General Álvaro García Ortiz. Alberto González Amador, identified as a partner of Madrid's President Isabel Díaz Ayuso, has brought forward serious allegations against Ortiz's inner circle, known as the Fortuny team, as part of an ongoing investigation by the Supreme Court. According to documents accessed by EFE, González Amador's defense insists that multiple crimes of revealing secrets have been committed by the Fortuny team, broadening the scope of those implicated in the leak.
The implicated team includes several well-known figures, such as prosecutor Ana García León and deputy prosecutor Diego Villafañe, who are part of the technical secretariat. Furthermore, the provincial prosecutor of Madrid, Pilar Rodríguez, who is also under investigation, is accused of concealing crucial information that points to the involvement of the entire Fortuny team in disclosing sensitive information between March 7 and March 14.
Critical evidence in this investigation stems from a report by the Central Operational Unit of the Civil Guard (UCO). It highlights that on March 8, Rodríguez, prompted by the Attorney General, transferred sensitive documents related to the complaint against González Amador to Villafañe. As a result, González Amador was no longer treated as an anonymous citizen. This transition raises alarms, given that he became associated with the President of the Community of Madrid during this sensitive period.
The transfer of information has led to allegations that all personal data and confidential content that fell under the purview of the Public Prosecutors Office were improperly released to the public, marking a serious breach of confidentiality.
In a related matter, another figure mentioned, Lobato, has asserted that he recorded his conversation with Sánchez Acera to ensure his safety amid the unfolding scandal. He also emphasizes the legal implications, stating that if the incident were a leak, the penalties could range from one to five years in prison, suggesting that the ramifications for those involved could be severe.
This scandal not only spotlights alleged misconduct within the Attorney General's office but also reflects the increasing tensions within Madrid's political landscape. As investigations continue, the outcomes could have far-reaching implications for those in power and raise questions about the integrity of the judicial process. The political and legal ramifications of these revelations will undoubtedly become a focal point in the coming weeks.
