Overview

• Magistrate Leopoldo Puente denied Koldo García’s request for judicial seizure and prohibition of audio evidence stored on three mobile phones and a recorder.
• The court said it lacks jurisdiction to impose provisional measures on the seized recordings and advised García to file an identical petition with the competent tribunal.
• Defense lawyer Leticia de la Hoz had emphasized blocking media dissemination of the recordings, especially those involving García’s minor daughter.
• The full electronic dump of audio files was ordered at former PSOE official Santos Cerdán’s request, and García’s team had joined that application.
• The Guardia Civil’s UCO continues its investigation into alleged public-works kickbacks with key recordings still circulating among media outlets.
