The Civil Guard presented this Wednesday at the headquarters of the State Attorney General to inspect the office of the State Attorney General, Álvaro García Ortiz, and seize its electronic devices, as reported by El Mundo and confirmed by elDiario. es. The operation includes the seizure of his electronic and WhatsApp conversations and takes place on the orders of Supreme Court Judge Ángel Hurtado who is investigating the case of revealing secrets against the highest representative of the Public Prosecutor’s Office after the complaint filed by Alberto González Amador, a couple by Isabel Díaz Ayuso. The magistrate declared the proceedings secret for at least a month.
Judge Hurtado, according to the order reviewed by elDiario.es, ordered the intervention of “all computer devices, objects and documents” related to the case. Among them, the cell phone of the attorney general, authorizing the Judicial Police to carry out a technical analysis on the fly if necessary.
The proceedings also include dumping of the state Attorney General’s email as well as dumping of his WhatsApp chats. Not only his professional email, but “all email accounts used” by Álvaro García Ortiz. Everything took place under the greatest secrecy after Judge Hurtado decreed the measure “until all the documentary information has been collected” for at least a month.
The defense of the commission agent, accused of tax fraud, asked the higher court to investigate García Ortiz’s communications with Pilar Rodríguez, head of the Madrid provincial prosecutor’s office. Both are being prosecuted for the press release and emails which denied the hoax according to which the prosecution offered González Amador a pact which he then withdrew.
