Top Prosecutor Under Investigation

Published: 2025-01-03

Spain's Attorney General, Álvaro García Ortiz, is under scrutiny after allegations of leaking confidential information.

The Supreme Court is investigating his role in the release of sensitive emails related to a tax fraud case involving the partner of Madrid's regional president, Isabel Díaz Ayuso.

The Guardia Civil revealed that García Ortiz switched his phone a week after the investigation began, raising questions about missing messages from key dates.

While he claims the phone was wiped for data protection, critics argue this undermines transparency.

The case has sparked debates over accountability in public office.
