The judge of the Supreme Court, Ángel Hurtado, has rejected the attorney general’s request to suspend the police analysis of the emails and messages that the Civil Guard intercepted on his mobile phone and computer. The magistrate does not share Álvaro García Ortiz’s suspicions that all this material is going to be leaked to third parties outside the Supreme Court: “It was placed in the hands of a judicial police unit, at the service of this Investigator, whose work and zeal there is no reasons to doubt.”
Both the attorney general and Pilar Rodríguez, the provincial prosecutor of Madrid also accused, asked Judge Hurtado to provisionally suspend the police analysis of the seven months of emails and messages that the Central Operational Unit intervened during the search carried out at the end of October.
“I do not deny that among the intercepted material there may be information of another type, which is not of interest to the investigation,” the judge acknowledges, but that also happens, he affirms, in other types of invasive procedures such as tapping a telephone conversation. “In any case, it must be remembered that the procedure is carried out under the secrecy of the summary in what it affects and that, once carried out, what is appropriate will be agreed upon, in the event that this other type of information actually appears” .
