Ayuso Aide Admits Misleading Messages as Supreme Court Hears Testimony in Attorney General Leak Trial

The case turns on who first disclosed a plea‑negotiation email from the tax probe of Ayuso’s partner.

Overview

  • Miguel Ángel Rodríguez acknowledged contacting journalists, spreading unsupported claims and defending it by saying he is a journalist, not a notary.
  • Rodríguez faced questions over messages and tweets that anticipated or framed decisions, as he insisted the prosecution hierarchy suggested a pact was blocked from above.
  • Alberto González Amador portrayed himself as a victim, saying the disclosure ruined him, while denying he personally leaked the email but admitting he authorized sharing a screenshot.
  • Earlier findings by the investigating judge that the first publication likely came from González Amador’s circle were highlighted in court, a conclusion the businessman disputes.
  • Isabel Díaz Ayuso urged maximum respect for the Supreme Court’s work without interference and said recent testimonies are proving clarifying.
