Overview
- The oral hearing concluded with the case declared ready for judgment, and seven Supreme Court judges are now deliberating.
- The main accusation targets revelation of secrets under Article 417, though the opening order allows conviction for other offences including Article 415 on document custody.
- Penalty requests diverge: the private prosecution seeks four years in prison, Manos Limpias asks for three with a fallback under Article 415, and the Apif association requests up to six.
- If revelation of secrets is not proven, a conviction for infidelity in the custody of documents could still bring a fine and a ban from public office.
- Testimony centered on how the email was handled, while commentary underscored political pressure, public statements asserting innocence by the prime minister, and fractures within the Prosecutor’s Office.
