Keys from the attorney general | The judge gives credibility to Ayuso’s couple and denies it to journalists | Spain

The Hurtado Judge’s car that proposes to judge the State Attorney General, Álvaro García Ortiz, Already the provincial chief prosecutor of Madrid, María Pilar Rodríguez Fernández, builds her accusatory story from many assumptions and scarce proven facts; that signs it with the testimonies that support its version, while discarding those that contradict it.

These are some the most relevant sections of a 51 -page car:

Perjuro journalist. The accusation against García Ortiz is based on the presumption that the State Attorney General, after claiming the email in which the couple of the Madrid president recognized having committed two fiscal crimes, finished « Facilitating it to a medium, the chain being, to give advertising. » However, this statement stumbles with a notable obstacle: without revealing its sources, the journalist who advanced the news, Miguel Ángel Campos, offered a detailed explanation of how he had access to the email before he reached García Ortiz and “denied (before the judge) that the State Attorney General would have provided it”. To overcome this stumbling block, Hurtado denies credibility to the witness’s statement and suggests that he lied « possibly conditioned, in some way, for his deontological duty to protect the source of information. » The judge seems to ignore that the professional secrecy of journalists forces them not to declare about their sources, in no case to give false testimony. That is, it was enough to protect himself in professional secrecy not to declare.

Criminal and harmless leaks. The testimony of the SER chain reporter is not the only one that the judge shores. It also overlooks the Four journalists from El País who declared that, before García Ortiz knew him, They already had news that González Amador negotiated with the Prosecutor’s Office a agreement in which he recognized his fiscal crimes. The car does not accuse them of lying. It is limited to pointing out that « the determining, (for the alleged crime of revelation of secrets that imputes the prosecutor, is the filtration of) the sensitive and reserved content of personal data contained in the mail of February 2, 2024 », which the chain being partially revealed in antenna at 23.25 of March 13, 2024 and 26 minutes later on the web. On the other hand, the judge denies transcendence to the mail leaked by the chief of Cabinet of Ayuso, Miguel Ángel Rodríguez, to the newspaper The world, to spread at 21.29 of the same day the false news that it was the Prosecutor’s Office that offered a pact. The judge alleges that, as this filtration was made with permission of the alleged fraudsman, his intimacy was not violated.

Hours. The attribution to García Ortiz of the authorship of the filtration to the chain to be suffered from a time lag, since Campos had the controversial mail before, at 23.43 hours, the Attorney General of the State claimed to the Chief Prosecutor of Madrid to send him all the emails “to close the circle” and prepare the press release that would spread the next morning. However, the judge alleges that the mail that García Ortiz claimed near midnight was not that of February 2, but another, and that the mail Key received it at 21.59, so he could filter him to the SER chain, even before having himself all the information.

Credibility of Ayuso’s couple. While the judge denies all credit to journalists, he does not question, on the other hand, the version of González Amador and his lawyer. Even admits as a proven fact that the latter He sent the prosecutor the mail in which he assumed the two fiscal crimes of his client « without knowledge » of it, Although he has not yet dispensed with his services. The judge does not even contemplate the hypothesis that the filtration of the mail sent by González Amador to the prosecutor was the work of the first, who had already authorized to filter the answer he received. To such an extent, the trigger for the case remains importance, the bully launched by Miguel Ángel Rodríguez, who does not mention it throughout the car, although he declared as a witness.

Deletion of the prosecutor’s mobile. The erase of the memory of García Ortiz’s mobile, which he attributed to security reasons, It serves the judge to speculate that, if it had not occurred, « it could have allowed access to presumably relevant information, as noted by the circumstance of making it disappear »; which means implicitly accusing the prosecutor of having destroyed evidence or missing his duty of collaboration with justice.

Political use of the Moncloa. The judge also attributes to the presidency of the Government « the purpose of using politically (the mail in which González Amador assumed his fiscal crimes) in front of the couple of the head of this personal and secret data, the president of the Community of Madrid »: which deduces from the fact of Pilar Sánchez Acera, right hand of the director’s director of the president, will be sent to the then PSOE spokesman in the Regional Assembly, Juan Lobato, with instructions to use it in the next plenary. The order ensures that « from the State Attorney General’s Office, a copy » of the mail to the presidency of the Government was sent, although it does not provide evidence that supports this statement and Sánchez Acera denied it.

Press note. Although the supreme ruled out that the press release was investigated on March 14 by the Prosecutor’s Office denying that he had offered a pact to González Amador, the car refers extensively to it and reproduces it textually, ensuring that “forms the same unit of act” with the filtration of the mail of February 2. The judge points out that prosecutor Pilar Rodríguez gave García Ortiz the Correos about this case, knowing that they would serve to prepare the note with which to deny The world, So they would leave “the confidentiality and reserve framework for which they were conceived” and, although he did not write it, he approved the draft. The Auto emphasizes that García Ortiz asked him to send to his private email and not to the officer the crossed emails between the prosecutor and the lawyer of the Ayuso couple. To strengthen his accusation, the judge echoes the suspicion of Almudena Lastra, superior prosecutor of the Community of Madrid. « What do you send their emails? They are going to filter them, » he told his partner Pilar Rodríguez, he declared that he was cited as a witness.
