Spanish Court Escalates Case Against Top Prosecutor

Published: 2024-07-15

The Madrid High Court has referred a case involving Spain's Attorney General, Álvaro García Ortiz, to the Supreme Court.

The case centers on the alleged leak of confidential information about the boyfriend of Madrid's regional president, Isabel Díaz Ayuso.

Judge Francisco José Goyena found evidence suggesting García Ortiz's involvement in publishing a press release containing private details.

The Attorney General maintains the release aimed to counter misinformation and uphold transparency.

This development could lead to García Ortiz's potential indictment, marking a significant escalation in a politically charged legal battle.
