Judge Antonio Piña of the National High Court will question former socialist militant Leire Díez, former SEPI PresidentVicente Fernández and Antxon Alonso on Saturday.

All three were arrested on Wednesday for alleged irregularities in public contracts by agents of the Central Operational Unit (UCO) of the Civil Guard, within the framework of the operation led by Central Examining Court No. 6 of the National High Court, the holder of which is Piña, in coordination with the Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office.



Prevarication, embezzlement, trafficking in influence and criminal organization are offences under investigation in the context of this secret case.



Detainees shall be brought before the National High Court after the expiry of the maximum period of three days of detention. They've been in the pumpkins of the Civil Guard Command in Tres Cantos, Madrid, since Wednesday.

In parallel with the arrests, the UCO has been conducting since Wednesday about 20 entries and searches and requests for documentation in various provinces, includingMadrid, Zaragoza, Seville and Navarra, institutions, companies and homes related to contracts under suspicion.

So the agents went to the SEPI or the post office to ask for information and searched Enusa's residence. Enusa is a publicly owned company, dependent on the former, and Leire Díez was hired as communications manager at the time when Vicente Fernández was in charge of the SEPI (2018-2019). In the post office, where he became director of the Philatelic, he held several positions until 2023.

This Friday, a day before he was brought before the court, the UCO went to the agencies under the Ministries of Finance and Ecological Transition, especially the directorates-general, to search for documentation on contracts and grants made under the investigators' magnifying glass.
