Prosecutors ask the Supreme Court to cancel Sánchez’s request to archive the case against the attorney general

The Professional and Independent Association of Prosecutors (APIF) asked the Supreme Court to reject the appeal presented by the State Attorney in which he requested the archiving of the trial opened against Álvaro García Ortiz, Attorney General of the State, and Pilar Rodríguez, Attorney General of the Province of Madrid, for an alleged crime of revealing secrets against Alberto González Amador, boyfriend from the president of Madrid, Isabel Díaz Ayuso.

THE APIF emphasizes that the order contested by the Public Prosecutor’s Office, representing Rodríguez, “only assumed jurisdiction and appointed an instructor” and, therefore, it is not possible to request dismissal because “it goes beyond the operative part of the resolution in progress contested.”

The APIF letter, signed by the lawyers Juan-Antonio Frago And Veronica Suarez He adds that what the public prosecutor is asking is that the Admissions Chamber of the Supreme Court exceeds its powers. “By the contested order, the said Chamber limits itself to confirming that there are indications of a crime against one of its own members and, on the other hand, that there is an inseparable link with another member of the Superior Court of Justice of Madrid, which is why it assumes the competence “of investigation into both gauges”, adds the letter.

The lawyers of APIF explain that the state judicial services should have addressed their request to the TSJ of Madrid or, where applicable, to the magistrate designated as instructor by this Chamber and not to the court itself. Admission room. “In conclusion, the order to take charge of a reasoned declaration cannot be appealed for the reasons given by the public prosecutor for having exceeded the powers of the Admission Chamber to decide whether it whether or not there is evidence of a crime,” he adds.

The public prosecutor indicated in his appeal that the premises which support the indications of guilt which weigh on his client, the attorney general of the province, Pilar Rodriguez, and the Attorney General do not respect “the reality of the documented facts in the present case. He also pointed out that there was an “obvious and manifest error” in the statement that García Ortiz and Rodríguez are suspected of leaking the February 2 email between González Amador’s defense and the prosecutor who was investigating on him for tax crimes, Julián Salto.

THE State Attorney argued that these suspicions are based on the fact that they had access to this email “in their case, moreover, with the aim of collaborating in the preparation and dissemination of the note of March 14”, in which THE Prosecutor’s Office He tried to deny the information published in various media.

“Moreover, (…) the first publications in the press which contain literal information on the content of the aforementioned email of February 2, and which presuppose your knowledge and your access to its content, occur before it was sent to my client, by Julián Salto -the prosecutor in charge of the case-, the aforementioned emails”, he specifies.

After reviewing the precise hours of March 13 in which several media outlets published the texts of this email, the Public Prosecutor’s Office explained that this news should have been analyzed by the Supreme Court after receiving the reasoned statement, “and that instead it was ignored in its conclusion of the guilt-ridden budget which determines the opening of the procedure” against Pilar Rodríguez.

In this sense, he highlighted that the first media that disclosed the content of the emails maintained by the lawyer and prosecutor of González Amador, Salto, “as shown by the literal content of the articles, obtained the information from close sources” . defense. And he regretted that “the political clashes which justified this matter being brought to the attention of the media and the press” were ignored “when evaluating the possible beneficiaries of this distorted broadcast, especially when it is also proved that some of these earlier broadcasts came from the defensive environment.
