Email Leak Investigation Deepens

Published: 2024-12-20

The Spanish Supreme Court is investigating a potential email leak involving the Attorney General, Álvaro García Ortiz, and other officials.

The email, linked to a tax fraud case involving the partner of Madrid's regional president, was allegedly leaked before its publication in the media.

Investigators found no relevant messages on García Ortiz's devices, as he had switched phones prior to the investigation.

However, messages from other officials suggest knowledge of the leak.

The Guardia Civil has identified a senior government official, Pilar Sánchez Acera, as a key figure who shared the email before its public release.

The case raises questions about data handling and political interference.
