Overview
- José Luis Ábalos and Koldo García filed petitions at Madrid’s Investigative Court No. 9 to personarse as acusación particular in the probe into former PSOE member Leire Díez.
- The submissions allege that Díez tried to “govern” the defense strategies of investigated figures to avoid harm to the PSOE.
- The filings assert that Díez claimed access to reserved information from the Guardia Civil and the Fiscalía and the ability to influence police diligences, including wiretaps, in matters tied to the Koldo case and hydrocarbons investigations.
- The petitions request investigative diligences into possible interferences and leaks and ask the court to incorporate recent press reports, including coverage of meetings reported by El Mundo, into the case file.
- The court has not announced decisions on the requests, and the assertions remain allegations contained in the parties’ filings rather than judicial findings.
