The State Advocacy asks to file the case against the Attorney General because the Ayuso couple’s pact was not a secret | Spain
The State Advocacy has requested in the Supreme Court The archive of the open cause against the State Attorney General When considering that during the instruction it has been proven that the content of the email whose filtration is investigated was not secret when Álvaro García Ortiz received it. In a letter registered this Friday, to which the country has had access, the defense of the attorney general reserves the facts that, as he says, discards García Ortiz as the author of that filtration and concludes that the information contained in that mail (Including the admission of two fiscal crimes by businessman Alberto González Amador, prosecuted for fiscal fraud and partner of Isabel Díaz Ayuso) were already known by many journalists before the attorney general received the email that collected that data.
The letter presented by the Advocacy joins those registered in recent days for some of the accusations and for the defense of the other investigated in the casethe provincial chief prosecutor of Madrid, Pilar Rodríguez, asking the judge to close the instruction. For law, the almost eight months of investigation led by magistrate Ángel Hurtado have served to gather “a set of evidence of discharge” in favor of the attorney general.
The state lawyer supports much of his brief in the testimonies presented to the judge by numerous journalists of different media (the country, eldiario.es, The sixth and The world)who agreed that they knew the details of the pact before García Ortiz received, at 21.59 of March 13, 2024, the mail sent by the prosecutor of the case to the businessman’s lawyer. The law brief collects WhatsApp messages that this newspaper has contributed to the causethat they find that the newspaper knew that Ayuso’s couple was willing to accept a pact that involved recognizing their tax crimes since March 12.
The defense also emphasizes that the complaint filed by Ayuso’s couple against the Public Ministry omitted « deliberately relevant data » that would imply that the facts investigated are not constituting a crime. Among these obvious data, the law ensures that González Amador himself had already disclosed the details of the pact between “people from the political environment of the president of the Community of Madrid”, in reference to the chief of the cabinet of Ayuso, Miguel Ángel Rodríguez, whom the businessman sent an email referred by the prosecutor of the case to his lawyer.
The complaint, warns García Ortiz’s defense, also ignored that González Amador’s lawyer sent the mail whose filtration investigates the state’s law, which opens the door to be filtered on the other hand; And that Ayuso’s couple spoke with the journalist of The world who signed the news launched by this media on the night of March 13, 2024 and in which, for the first time, reference was made to a negotiation between the Public Ministry and the lawyer of González Amador. The state lawyer considers that these omissions « obey a procedural strategy carefully aimed at presenting a deformed version of the facts » to « artificially move suspicion » to García Ortiz.
The defense also focuses on other aspects revealed throughout the instruction and that, in his opinion, add up to arguments against the thesis of the accusation, such as the fact that the mail sent by the provincial prosecutor to the Attorney General to take a document attached a document in PDF format entitled “Proposal of criminal conformity” that was not published in any medium, despite the fact that they contained information of enormous media relevance. « Such circumstance clearly reveals that this file was not held by the journalists who disseminated the information at that time, » says the law, which also highlights the fact that the mail that García Ortiz received had a format, typography and distribution of paragraphs other than that published in the media.
