In an unprecedented move, Spain's Supreme Court has ordered the seizure of all electronic devices belonging to the State Attorney General, Álvaro García Ortiz, as part of an investigation into alleged leaks of confidential information.

The court's decision follows accusations that García Ortiz and the Chief Prosecutor of Madrid, Pilar Rodríguez, were involved in the unauthorized disclosure of an email related to a tax fraud case involving the partner of Madrid's regional president.

The Guardia Civil conducted a thorough search of the Attorney General's office, collecting computers, mobile phones, and tablets.

This action marks a significant step in the investigation, as such measures are rare in cases of information leaks.

The move has sparked controversy among legal associations, with some calling for García Ortiz's resignation, while others express concern over the implications of the court's decision.

The investigation remains ongoing, with the court maintaining secrecy over the proceedings for the next month.
