Ábalos has jurisdiction before him Supreme Court to be a deputy and Judge Moreno has already asked the Chamber to certify his status as a national parliamentarian. For this reason, he cannot be summoned to testify as an investigator.
The same sources recall that, when a person wanted to prevent the investigating judge from addressing the Supreme Court with a reasoned declaration so that the High Court could open the file, he sometimes resorted to sending ‘a letter to give his version of the facts. .
