The Supreme Court for the first time Judge Hurtado in the case against the Attorney General | Spain
The Appeal Room has first amended the magistrate Ángel Hurtado this Thursday as an instructor of The open case in the Supreme Court to the State Attorney General. The Chamber has urged him to admit the personation as a popular accusation of the Hazteira Ultra -Catholic Association, which Hurtado had rejected when he considered that there were enough popular accusations and that this association « does not show interest other than these » and, therefore, « nothing can contribute to the good progress of the process. » The magistrates who have reviewed this decision after the appeal presented by Hazteoíse point, however, that nothing indicates that the damage to the agility of the process that implies admitting to an accusation is “an insurmountable obstacle”.
The particular accusation in the open cause for revelation of secrets against Álvaro García Ortiz is exercised by Alberto González Amador, Isabel Díaz Ayuso couple and charged with tax fraudwho was the one who complained against the Prosecutor’s Office for the dissemination, on March 14, 2024, of a press release with which the Public Ministry intended to deny the bulge that was launching the environment of the Madrid president, according to which it was the Public Ministry who had offered a pact to González Amador’s lawyer. The open investigation around the note later derived in an accusation to the Attorney General for the alleged filtration of an email from the Ayuso couple who revealed that he really was the one who had sought an agreement with the Prosecutor’s Office that would deliver his client to enter prison in exchange for admitting the commission of two fiscal crimes.
To that accusation of González Amador, Clean Hands, the Forum Freedom and Alternative Foundation, the APIF Prosecutor’s Association and the Madrid Bar Associations were joined as popular accusation. The Supreme Court prosecuted García Ortiz on October 15, 2024, and two months later, on January 16, Hazteoír requested his personation, which was rejected by Hurtado in understanding that the presence of a new accusation would mean a “decrease in agility” of the process. This argument is the one that rejects the Chamber, which reminds Hurtado that if he considers that five popular accusations are many, he can always unify them.
The instructor dismissed last December grouping the accusations when he understood that the associations presented represented sufficient interests, but the admission room marks the way to do it: there are three associations (clean hands, forum Less ”popular accusations act unified under the same direction and representation.
