Police Commissioner Andrés Gómez Gordo dissociated himself this Wednesday in the National Court from the dirty war against Podemos that the political brigade to which he belonged carried out in the Ministry of the Interior during the Government of the Popular Party. Gómez Gordo, suspended from his duties due to his prosecution in the Kitchen case, has appeared as an investigator in this other case and has only agreed to answer questions from his lawyer.
Gómez Gordo has not only denied participating in the parapolice maneuvers against Podemos, he has also said he was unaware that they took place, and he has justified this in the few months that he was assigned to the Deputy Operational Directorate, the epicenter of that activity, and on his return to the UDEF. Other police officers involved have pointed out Gómez Gordo as the main architect of the PISA Report, the dossier with which Interior tried to falsely link Podemos with financing from Venezuela and Iran.
Commissioner Andrés Gómez Gordo was outside the Police acting as María Dolores de Cospedal’s ‘man for everything’ in Castilla La Mancha when the Police recovered him because he had direct access to the Bárcenas family’s driver, who would become the main confidant of the operation against the former treasurer of the PP to try to save the party from its investigation into box B. In the Kitchen case, Anti-Corruption requests 15 years in prison for Andrés Gómez Gordo for concealment, embezzlement and crimes against privacy.
Last February, Pedraz became the first magistrate to agree to analyze by criminal means whether the police leadership of the PP governments with Mariano Rajoy illegally maneuvered to harm Podemos and its leaders in the midst of the party’s rise. Already in his order of admission for processing, the judge explained that for the moment he would not investigate the then minister, Jorge Fernández Díaz, nor the director of the Police, Ignacio Cosidó, but he would investigate several of his subordinates and senior police officers.
The complaint from Ione Belarra’s party pointed out that those investigated, following orders from Martínez and ultimately Fernández Díaz, “were in charge of carrying out prospective investigations unrelated to any police interest, not under judicial or Public Prosecutor’s control over the people.” that made up the Podemos political organization.”
The main objective, according to that complaint, was its subsequent leak to the media under the seal of reliability of the “police sources” and finally to discredit the party that Pablo Iglesias then led in the eyes of public opinion, as well as thus attacking the indemnity of its deputies and other public officials.
The consequences of this illegal police activity against the party, the complaint explained, can be found on the front pages in eight different actions: from the investigation of Iglesias in the PISA report (on the false irregular financing of Podemos) to the leak of a document ” forgery” of an account in his name at Euro Pacific Bank Limited or the manipulation of documents or internal police records to give the appearance of legality to the actions of the defendants.
Last September, a court of the National Court sentenced the commissioner on leave Gómez Gordo to three and a half years in prison in the case of the City of Justice, the Esperanza Aguirre project that did not get started and despite which the police officer acted as head of security.
