Alvaro Garcia Ortizthe state attorney general is putting his freedom, his position, his professional career, and his assets at risk. and the reputation of the institution he oversees.
García Ortiz’s defense argued there was “no indication” or evidence that the attorney general leaked an email in which the businessman’s lawyer, Alberto González Amador, proposed a conformity agreement that would allow tax evasion to the Economic Crimes Prosecutor’s Office. Prosecutors say he did it to support “his story.”
He faces a maximum sentence of six years in prison, but garcia ortiz He left the Palace of Justice surrounded by prosecutors who showed support for him and were very happy with the final report of State Attorney Ignacio Osio.
“The Attorney General is innocent.”said the defender. “The systematic activity of reporting and issuing press releases to disclose information that casts doubt on the prosecutor, the public prosecutor’s office, and the state attorney general was criminalized.”
Garcia Ortiz has not exercised his right to speak until the end. It wasn’t necessary: Leisure says it allincluding another possible author of the February 2, 2024 email leak. It is an “email” written by a lawyer. Gonzalez Amador It proposed to the Economic Crimes Prosecutor’s Office a compliance agreement that would allow for tax evasion (“two crimes were definitely committed against the national treasury”) in exchange for reduced fines and prison sentences.
“There is no indication or evidence that the emails were leaked by the attorney general,” the defense said, attributing the disclosure to the attorney general. Madrid Regional Public Prosecutors OfficeI’m not pointing out anyone in particular.
It is based on the declarations of journalists, which is one of the strengths of the defense strategy. 6th, chain being, eldiario.es and countryamputated person garcia ortiz Regarding the email leak on February 2nd.
“Three of them had the email, and the other three had the contents,” Osio said.
He recalled that Sir’s informant, who scooped the phrase “two crimes were definitely committed against the Treasury,” said the source showed him the emails and had him take notes in the “third floor office.”
“The Madrid Regional Prosecutor’s Office is on the third floor,” Osio said. “The State Attorney’s Office says this leak is coming from there,” he said.
State attorneys are focusing on another line of defense. The reason is that the tax information of Mr. González Amador, the partner of the President of Madrid, has lost its confidentiality due to the actions of the President of Madrid. Diaz Ayuso and his chief of staff, Miguel Angel Rodriguez.
Osio is part of a news article published on the evening of March 13, 2024, after a conversation with El Mundo. Gonzalez Amadoras he realized.
The news article revealed an email that Prosecutor Salto sent to Neira the day before informing her that he had filed a complaint against her. Gonzalez Amador She then tells him that she has no problem agreeing to his proposal to negotiate a criminal agreement.
In addition to the March 12 email, the news article revealed that there were negotiations that envisaged “fines and prison terms that did not imply de facto compliance, i.e. jail time for Ayuso’s partner.” These data did not come from Mr. Sarto’s email to the businessman’s lawyer.
“When the owner of a secret allows a third party to share the secret, the secret loses its character as a secret,” the defense argued.
”Gonzalez Amador Journalists spoke about the negotiations, but in the end a version was given that took into account the interests of the Madrid community president and his wife.
businessman’s actions, Miguel Angel Rodriguez “That means the secret loses its nature,” he argues. “You cannot reveal the terms of this negotiation and then immediately say it remains on hold,” he argued.
“Duty of Stealth”
In the morning, the private whistleblower and the public whistleblower made their final reports. The former emphasized that just because a criminal finding was reported in the media, “the public prosecutor’s office’s duty of confidentiality does not disappear.”
González Amador’s lawyer, Gabriel Rodriguez Ramosclaimed that both the leak of the February 2, 2024 email and the Public Prosecutor’s Office press release issued on March 14, 2024 denying the false news that the draft suitability agreement was from the Ministry of Civil Service were criminal.
And he argued that the combination of both (the leaked emails and the subsequent press release) and the public prosecutor’s office statement, considered in isolation, amounted to the revelation of a criminal secret. This is true even if Garcia Ortiz is acquitted of the email leak. the memo may be criticizedaccording to a private prosecutor’s paper.
He argued that “the intended narrative of the prosecutor’s office lies in point 2 of the memo (where González Amador’s lawyer reportedly admitted to tax crimes), and that point is inarguably unnecessary in order to neutralize the hoax that allegedly started it all.”
He added that the inclusion of a criminal finding in a press release is “in no way justified by any of the defendant’s stated objectives.”
“To say that a compliance agreement was not proposed, it is not necessary to say that González Amador’s lawyer admitted to the crime. He will never comply with the conditions of authorization of the Fundamental Law of the Public Prosecutor’s Office to communicate information to society and will always assume so, even if it has already been published by the Public Prosecutor’s Office.” chain beingan alternate reality: the prosecutor’s office expresses the other party’s position through the organization’s mouth as part of the compliance process.
like he said Rodriguez RamosPoint 2 of the press release issued by the Public Prosecutors Office on March 14, 2024 states that “the criminal awareness of the persons being investigated is systematically sealed,” which constitutes a “breach of limited confidentiality.”
“The methods used by politicians to expose information are ineffective against the public prosecutor’s office. Just because it was reported in the media does not mean that the public prosecutor’s office is no longer obliged to maintain confidentiality, and this is probably a design error on the part of the defendant.”
“But furthermore, he sent that email Get used to it “It activates a systemic narrative about the guilt of Ayuso’s partners and as a way to avoid responsibility,” he concluded.
