Published: 2024-12-03

The Spanish Supreme Court, led by Magistrate Ángel Luis Hurtado, has summoned Miguel Ángel Rodríguez, Chief of Staff to Madrid's President Isabel Díaz Ayuso, and eight journalists as witnesses in a high-profile case involving the alleged leak of confidential information.

This decision follows a request by the State Attorney General Álvaro García Ortiz, who is under investigation for his role in the leak.

The case centers around the dissemination of sensitive data related to businessman Alberto González Amador, which has led to significant political tension.

Rodríguez, a close aide to Ayuso, is expected to testify on January 8, followed by journalists from major media outlets.

The investigation marks a rare instance of a State Attorney General being implicated in such a scandal, highlighting the case's gravity and its potential impact on Spanish politics.
