Overview
- At the Supreme Court, multiple reporters testified that they possessed the confession email or its contents before it reached Álvaro García Ortiz and declined to reveal sources.
- La Sexta’s Alfonso Pérez Medina documented knowing the confession details minutes before the email was sent to the prosecutor’s office, and elDiario.es editor José Precedo said he had the screenshot since March 6 while stressing García Ortiz was not his source.
- El Mundo’s Esteban Urreiztieta described accessing a different fiscal email showing openness to a deal and rejected having promoted the debunked claim that a pact was blocked by ‘orders from above.’
- In Madrid’s Court No. 9, prosecutor Ignacio Stampa ratified accusations against Leire Díez and Javier Pérez Dolset, filed a recording and notarial documents, and the judge withheld a longer audio from the parties pending Nov. 11 statements.
- Isabel Díaz Ayuso urged judges, prosecutors and journalists to defend the rule of law and said the case is not hers, after her aide’s narrative about a blocked plea was shown by the case record to be false.
