Overview

• The Juzgado de Instrucción nº44 has opened preliminary proceedings on Iustitia Europa’s complaint and inhibited the case in favor of Juzgado nº9.
• The inquiry cites indicia of offences including tráfico de influencias, prevaricación, obstrucción a la justicia, cohecho, and organización criminal based on a leaked February audio.
• Iustitia Europa has signaled its intent to join the prosecution as acusación popular in the consolidated proceedings.
• Judge Arturo Zamarriego previously cited Díez as investigada for cohecho and tráfico de influencias and scheduled her statement for 11 November, summoning witnesses such as Javier Pérez Dolset and Jacobo Teijelo.
• The association Hazte Oír has petitioned the court to seize Díez’s mobile phones, emails, and PSOE-provided documents for review by the UCO.
