The Supreme Court has limited the analysis that the Civil Guard must carry out of all the information seized from the State Attorney General, Álvaro García Ortiz, during the search of his office, so that only what is related to the case can be examined and between March 8 and 14.
“Limited the expert analysis of the intervened material to the facts and people under investigation, it is limited to the dates that cover March 8 to 14, 2024, both days inclusive,” says the instructor of the case, Judge Ángel Luis Hurtado. , in a resolution to which Europa Press has had access.
It should be remembered that, when ordering the search, both in the office of García Ortiz and in that of the provincial chief prosecutor of Madrid, Pilar Rodríguez – also investigated -, the magistrate authorized making a full copy of the information contained in their devices. and emails.
So, the instructor already set two limits: one substantive, that the information seized was related to the facts investigated; and another temporary one, from March 8 to October 30. However, the latter only established it with respect to the emails of García Ortiz and Rodríguez.
According to investigation sources, the search in García Ortiz’s office – which lasted more than ten hours – resulted in the complete dumping of the contents of his two mobile phones (official and personal), a laptop, a computer table, a tablet and multiple USBs.
Precisely, given the enormous amount of information seized and its highly sensitive nature, which in some cases affects national security, the State Attorney General has contacted these days with all the chief prosecutors and the courtroom prosecutors of specialized areas. to convey their concern and inform them of this situation, as confirmed by tax sources to Europa Press.
Leap’s statement
With this resolution the Supreme Court reduces the scope of action of the Civil Guard when analyzing the information obtained in both records. And it does so based on two key dates for the investigations against García Ortiz and Rodríguez for an alleged revelation of secrets against Alberto González Amador, the boyfriend of the Madrid president, Isabel Díaz Ayuso.
As indicated by the TS itself in the order for which García Ortiz was prosecuted, the prosecutor in the case against Díaz Ayuso’s boyfriend, Julián Salto, declared that March 8 was when Rodríguez informed him that the person being investigated for alleged tax crimes He was the partner of the Madrid president and “he asked her for a copy of the complaint already endorsed.”
As for March 14, it was that day when the Prosecutor’s Office issued a press release with a detailed chronology of the exchange of emails between Salto and González Amador’s lawyer to try to reach an agreement.
That statement was what led González Amador — among others — to file a complaint for an alleged revelation of secrets. The case, involving García Ortiz, escalated to the Supreme Court.
The high court opened a case against García Ortiz on October 16. However, the TS did not see any crime in the press release, focusing only on the previous leaks about those ’emails’ to the media.
