Leire Díez Seeks to Void Recordings at Center of UCO Sabotage Investigation

Her motion puts the admissibility of the case’s key audio evidence before Judge Arturo Zamarriego.

Overview

  • Díez filed a request to annul all recordings submitted by prosecutor Ignacio Stampa, as well as earlier tapes from a meeting at lawyer Jacobo Teijejo’s office.
  • The filing was presented just before she was due to testify under investigation in the case.
  • She remains under judicial probe for alleged influence peddling and bribery.
  • Stampa’s recording refers to Díez as the party’s “plumber” and includes her stating she alerted the PSOE and saw irregularities in police and Anticorruption reports.
  • Hazte Oír, acting as a popular accuser, asked the judge to summon Santos Cerdán as an investigated person, citing his mention in communications and his pretrial detention in the separate Koldo case.
