Alvaro García Ortiz, Attorney General of the State.
The Supreme Court today celebrates the second day of the trial against the Attorney General of the State, Alvaro García Ortiz, for a crime of disclosure of secrets. Alberto González Amador, couple of the President of Madrid, Isabel Díaz Ayuso, and the Chief of Staff, Miguel Ángel Rodríguez, will testify today.
González will be a key session this afternoon to clarify the origin and dissemination of e-mails between Amador's defense and the Public Prosecutor's Office. The Public Prosecutor's Office issued a press release on 14 March 2024 detailing postal exchanges related to the investigation against the businessman for alleged tax fraud, which triggered the political and judicial crisis that has led to this trial.
Yesterday, several prosecutors pointed out the appropriateness of disseminating this note . The Attorney General of Madrid, Almudena Lastra, said she did not want to spread the messages because the "role" of the Public Prosecutor's Office was not to display defence strategies.
In addition to González Amador and Rodríguez, other witnesses have been summoned today, including the head of the Support Unit of the Attorney General's Office, Esmeralda Rasillo, and the Anti-Corruption Prosecutor, Diego Lucas, who will also testify as former Secretary of State for Communication Francesc Vallés, following contacts with the leader of the Madrid Socialists, Juan Lobato.
The third day will take place tomorrow and the block of testimonies will be completed with the appearances of Lobato and the current "number two" of the PSOE in Madrid, Pilar Sánchez Acera.
