Overview
- Teresa Peramato took the oath before King Felipe VI after her appointment was published in the BOE, completing a rapid handover following Álvaro García Ortiz’s resignation.
- The Supreme Court released its full judgment convicting García Ortiz of revealing reserved data, imposing two years of disqualification from the prosecutor general post and a €7,200 fine.
- Judges set compensation to Alberto González Amador at €10,000, far below the €300,000 sought, finding most reputational harm stemmed from the existence and publicity of the criminal case.
- Two dissenting opinions by magistrates Susana Polo and Ana Ferrer questioned the evidentiary basis, warning of a presumption‑of‑innocence breach due to the absence of direct proof.
- Uncertainty persists over whether García Ortiz will retain his career status in the Fiscalía, with reports pointing to possible internal proceedings, an incident of nullity, a Constitutional Court appeal with a suspension request, and discussion of a potential partial pardon.
