The Public Prosecutor's Office has requested the Supreme Court to file the case against the Attorney-General of the Spanish State, Alvaro García Ortiz, and the Provincial Prosecutor of Madrid, Pilar Rodríguez, for an alleged offence of disclosure of secrets for leaks related to the case of Isabel Díaz Ayuso's partner.

The Deputy Prosecutor of the Supreme Court, Maria de los Angeles Sanchez Conde, will act directly on the appeal filed by the Public Prosecutor's Office, in which the Public Prosecutor's Office refuses to act in accordance with Moncloa's instructions, stating that the famous e-mail was already known before the Attorney General knew it.

According to Judge Angel Hurtado, the prosecutor disseminated the e-mail of 2 February 2024 in which Amador's lawyer, Alberto González, acknowledged to the prosecutor that he had committed two tax offences "as a result of instructions received from the Presidency of the Government", but without giving any further details.

The Public Prosecutor's Office, which has appealed against this order, has stressed that "there has never been any mention in the numerous decisions or procedural acts carried out that the Public Prosecutor's Office has received instructions from the Presidency of the Government", so, according to the Public Prosecutor's Office, "this charge has come after, without evidence, leaving the persons under investigation in clear defencelessness, because they have not been consulted or provided with evidence on the matter", so "there is no evidence from the e-mail of the Attorney-General's Office that the Attorney General's Office has been transmitted".

He added that "many people have stated that they have had, examined or known the contents of the mail before the Attorney-General obtained it", including several journalists who had stated that they had "prior information" about the mail.

"Many people have declared having received, seen, or known the contents of that e-mail, even before the Attorney-General knew it," including "some journalists."
