Overview
- Juan Lobato and Pilar Sánchez Acera told Spain’s Supreme Court that the email text about Isabel Díaz Ayuso’s partner did not come from the Attorney General.
- Sánchez Acera testified she forwarded Lobato a screenshot she says was sent by a journalist, which she cannot now identify because her previous phone was wiped after she left La Moncloa.
- The court heard that accusations target Attorney General Álvaro García Ortiz for the leak, yet the latest testimony did not support that allegation.
- The private prosecution pressed a theory that the Prosecutor’s Office acted on instructions from La Moncloa, though the Appeals Chamber previously struck that claim from the case narrative.
- Notarized WhatsApp records show Sánchez Acera forwarded the screenshot to Lobato on March 14, 2024, as media were already reporting the email’s contents.
