Overview

  • On June 2, Supreme Court Judge Ángel Hurtado admitted Vox as a popular accuser in the leak investigation against Attorney General Álvaro García Ortiz.
  • The court ordered Vox’s accusation to be unified with Fundación Foro Libertad y Alternativa because they share common interests and the foundation had priority of personation.
  • The probe, focusing on an alleged leak of a confidential email in a tax-fraud case involving Alberto González Amador, has reached its final phase after all agreed-upon witnesses testified.
  • Judge Hurtado is considering a request from Madrid’s chief prosecutor, Pilar Rodríguez, to incorporate additional emails and messages exchanged between the Public Prosecutor’s Office, the State Attorney’s Office and Amador’s lawyers.
  • The judge must decide whether to advance with charges against García Ortiz and Rodríguez or to dismiss the case.
