Overview

  • Attorney General Álvaro García Ortiz is under investigation by the Supreme Court for allegedly leaking confidential data about Isabel Díaz Ayuso’s partner.
  • Judge Ángel Hurtado has ruled that popular accusers will maintain separate legal representation, except for Hazte Oír and Fundación Foro Libertad y Alternativa, which will act jointly.
  • This decision marks a departure from past cases, such as Begoña Gómez and Koldo, where accusations were unified to streamline proceedings.
  • The Criminal Chamber previously reinstated Hazte Oír’s participation after its initial rejection and dismissed an appeal to unify all accusations.
  • Businessman Alberto González Amador has also filed a private accusation in the case, adding another layer to the legal proceedings.
