Who more who less, nowadays we all lead our entire lives on our mobile phones. If not, at least a good part of it, including the most private, the most important and, in the case of a state attorney general, the most sensitive professionally, legally and also politically. For this reason, the preliminary proceedings agreed upon by Judge Ángel Hurtado, in charge of the investigation in the case being followed by the Supreme Court against the Attorney General of the State, Álvaro García Ortiz, and the Chief Prosecutor of the Provincial Prosecutor’s Office of Madrid, María Pilar Rodríguez Fernández, which for the moment have consisted of the entry and search of his professional offices and the seizure of all electronic devices, including computers and cell phones, must have caused a jolt and butterflies in the stomach, to put it delicately, in more than one or two people, not counting those investigated themselves.
Judge Hurtado has ordered these proceedings at the request of Alberto González Amador’s lawyer, although they have gone beyond what he had requested. Hurtado seems to be going for broke in this case. He has also decreed, thank goodness!, the secrecy of the summary. Imagine that the content of all these investigations ended up being public. And on top of that, in an investigation for alleged revelation of secrets! Nothing more would be missing now if some of this information were leaked to the press! Everything is possible in this country of ours, so given to living dangerously. For now, and in due course, they will have access to it, or to the party designated by Judge Hurtado, the complaining organizations, Manos Cleans, the Foro Libertad y Alternativa Foundation and the Illustrious Bar Association of Madrid, in addition, of course is, from Mr. Alberto González Amador himself, so that they can construct their accusations well.
