Overview

• The Juzgado de Instrucción nº4 de Badajoz inhibited its own jurisdiction and sent the investigation into Díez’s alleged discovery of secrets and influence peddling to Madrid.
• The transfer merges the Manos Limpias complaint with a prior Hazte Oír suit already moved to the Juzgado Decano de Madrid by the Juzgado nº2 de Badajoz in late June.
• Manos Limpias must deposit an €8,000 procedural bond to maintain its role as a popular accuser in the case against Díez.
• The court has requested complete transcripts of leaked audio recordings that reportedly capture Díez’s contacts with ex-judge Luis José Sáenz de Tejada and businessman Javier Pérez Dolset.
• The transfer order is not final and can be appealed before the Tribunal Superior de Justicia de Extremadura.
