Overview

• Diego Lucas, the prosecutor investigating Isabel Díaz Ayuso’s partner Alberto González Amador for tax fraud and corruption, has been appointed to Spain's Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office.
• The Fiscal Council approved Lucas's nomination with votes from the Asociación de Fiscales and ex officio members, despite prior conflict-of-interest concerns.
• Lucas will continue overseeing the high-profile investigation into González Amador, who faces charges of corruption, tax fraud, breach of trust, and document falsification.
• Attorney General Álvaro García Ortiz, who proposed Lucas's appointment, is under formal investigation by the Supreme Court for alleged unauthorized disclosure of confidential tax data.
• This marks the first time a sitting Attorney General in Spain has faced formal charges, raising concerns over institutional credibility and impartiality in prosecutorial decisions.
