Overview

  • The Partido Popular, acting as popular prosecution, filed in Juzgado de Instrucción nº9 to have former PSOE figure Gaspar Zarrías cited as an imputado.
  • It also requested an entry and search of Zaño Sociedad Consultora, the consultancy administered by Zarrías.
  • The filing alleges Zaño employed Leire Díez between June and October 2024, effectively financing efforts to collect compromising material on UCO officers, judges and prosecutors.
  • The PP asserts Díez operated from PSOE headquarters and reported to ex-organization chief Santos Cerdán, who is in provisional prison in a separate contracts case.
  • The petition relies on press reports and is now under judicial consideration, with no decision yet on imputing Zarrías or searching Zaño.
