Overview
- Álvaro García Ortiz took up duties on Monday in the Supreme Court’s Labor Chamber after resigning as attorney general in December.
- Following the Inspección Fiscal’s assessment, Teresa Peramato authorized his return to active service and ended his special-services status.
- The Supreme Court convicted him of revealing reserved data, imposed a two-year disqualification limited to the attorney general’s post, a €7,200 fine, and a €10,000 indemnity to Alberto González Amador.
- Debate over the Estatuto Orgánico persists, with critics citing articles 44, 46, and related regulations to argue the conviction should cost him his status as a fiscal.
- The Fiscalía filed an incidente de nulidad in December, and the State Attorney’s Office is expected to seek nullity today to preserve a path to a constitutional appeal.
