Álvaro García Ortiz, Spain's Attorney General, has become the first in the nation's democratic history to face charges as a defendant.

He is accused of leaking confidential information about the partner of Madrid's regional president, Isabel Díaz Ayuso.

The case has sparked controversy, with García Ortiz denying the allegations and criticizing the investigation's fairness.

Evidence includes rapid exchanges of communications and the use of personal email for sensitive data.

The case has weakened García Ortiz's defense, with the Supreme Court judge highlighting significant indications of his involvement.

This unprecedented trial raises questions about accountability at the highest levels of Spain's judiciary.
