Spain's Attorney General Under Investigation

Published: 2024-11-25

The Spanish Supreme Court is investigating the State Attorney General, Álvaro García Ortiz, for his alleged involvement in the leak of confidential information concerning Alberto González Amador, the partner of Madrid's president, Isabel Díaz Ayuso.

The investigation follows a report by the Central Operational Unit (UCO) of the Guardia Civil, which highlights García Ortiz's significant role in the events leading to the leak.

The report details communications between García Ortiz and other members of the prosecution, suggesting his direct involvement in the dissemination of sensitive data.

The Supreme Court has authorized the examination of García Ortiz's communications, as the Guardia Civil found indications of his involvement in messages exchanged with the chief prosecutor of Madrid, Pilar Rodríguez.

The investigation focuses on whether García Ortiz orchestrated the release of private information, which was subsequently published by media outlets.

The case underscores the ongoing scrutiny of high-level officials in Spain's judicial system.
