Spain's Attorney General Álvaro García Ortiz is under scrutiny for alleged involvement in leaking sensitive information about the tax fraud case of Isabel Díaz Ayuso's partner.

A report by the Guardia Civil revealed that García Ortiz received the controversial email after it was already public.

However, his deletion of key messages from his phone during the investigation period has raised suspicions.

García Ortiz claims the deletions were routine and unrelated to the case, but critics argue this undermines transparency.

Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez defended García Ortiz, calling the accusations a "smokescreen" and demanding apologies from those who sought his resignation.

The case has sparked debate over the use of public resources and the ethics of political maneuvering in Spain.
