Overview
- In a covert audio now submitted to Juzgado de Instrucción No. 9, prosecutor Ignacio Stampa records Leire Díez describing herself as the PSOE’s appointee to probe sensitive matters.
- On the tape, Díez says she served as the right hand to party leader Santos Cerdán and states she would brief him on the meeting’s contents.
- Díez recounts that, when Dolores Delgado became justice minister, she was offered the director of communications post, which she says she later declined after a visit.
- Businessmen Javier Pérez Dolset and Luis del Rivero are heard discussing materials they say they delivered to court and asserting that, after Begoña Gómez was charged, the president ordered a sweeping “clean-up,” a claim captured in the recording.
- The audio includes allegations linking Baltasar Garzón to business with ex-commissioner José Manuel Villarejo and claims of police bugging targeting Pedro Sánchez’s family, alongside sharp criticism of Anticorrupción and its chief Alejandro Luzón.
