Overview

  • The Supreme Court is investigating Attorney General Álvaro García Ortiz and Madrid chief prosecutor Pilar Rodríguez for allegedly leaking confidential information about Alberto González Amador, partner of Madrid's president Isabel Díaz Ayuso.
  • The Guardia Civil’s UCO concluded that data from Google and WhatsApp provided no new evidence of interest for the case, confirming the inability to recover deleted communications.
  • Judge Ángel Hurtado lifted the secrecy on the investigation after the UCO's findings, which determined that existing evidence remains unchanged by the international data requests.
  • García Ortiz had deleted his phone content and WhatsApp accounts after charges were filed in October 2024, which hindered the recovery of relevant messages.
  • Upcoming expert hearings in mid-May, including testimony from González Amador, will determine whether the case proceeds to formal prosecution or is dismissed.
