Spain's Top Prosecutor Under Fire

Published: 2025-02-12

Spain's Attorney General, Álvaro García Ortiz, is under scrutiny after allegations of evidence tampering surfaced.

On October 16, the day the Supreme Court began investigating him for leaking secrets, García Ortiz reportedly deleted all WhatsApp messages and later erased his Gmail account.

Investigators are struggling to recover the deleted data, with limited cooperation from Google.

The case has sparked controversy, with critics accusing García Ortiz of undermining judicial institutions to protect himself.

His actions have raised questions about the integrity of Spain's legal system, as he faces accusations of attempting to discredit the Supreme Court and shift focus to alleged judicial overreach.

The investigation continues, with authorities seeking to retrieve critical evidence.
