- The court imposed a €7,300 fine, barred him from office for two years, and ordered €10,000 in damages to Alberto González Amador.
- The email related to the investigation of González Amador, the husband of Madrid regional president Isabel Díaz Ayuso, over alleged tax fraud.
- Ortiz denies wrongdoing, and his lawyers allege a politically driven campaign by the Madrid regional government to protect Ayuso.
- Lead prosecutor María Ángeles Sánchez Conde argued for acquittal, and journalists testified Ortiz was not their source, underscoring the case's contested narrative.
