The new legal team for former Transport Minister José Luis Ábalos is exhibiting unusual frenzy of activity on all fronts that affect his client. The last incident came to light on Monday this week, when the former organizing director of the PSOE … Required The Leyre case will be brought to court as a personal accusation.In this case, Leyre Diez, a plumber and former socialist extremist, is being investigated for allegedly promising judicial benefits to a person being investigated by the National Court (Alejandro Hamrin) in exchange for ammunition to attack Antonio Varas, the UCO commander who led investigations such as the Begoña Gómez and Cordo cases.
In a document obtained by the ABC, Ábalos told Arturo Zamarigo, a judge at Madrid’s 9th court, that he had learned through the media that Leyre Díez had held meetings in which he said he “maintains close relations with political leaders” and that he had admitted to doing so. The defenses of various people were investigated “under his control or advice”Among them, the former minister himself has undertaken various processes “to govern his own legal defense in the interests of the Spanish Socialist Workers’ Party.”
“In one such conversation, Mrs. Leyre Diez would say: will lead intelligence operations in parallel.One of its key elements is to modify the client’s line of defense in order to enter into a non-aggression pact with the party in question and to bring it into full compliance with the client’s guidelines,” emphasizes the defense, with clear reference to a memo delivered by Civil Guard Commander Ruben Villalba.
“Network of interference”
In addition to this, Diez also claimed to have access to confidential information of the Civil Guard and the Public Prosecutor’s Office regarding both the so-called Cordo case and investigations related to the hydrocarbon sector, and the ability to influence the conduct of police procedures, including wiretaps and investigations, presenting these as “interrelated.” “In that context, he expressed his intention to redirect my client’s situation and avoid harm to the government,” he added.
For Avalos, it is clear from all this that there is a “network of interference and leakage aimed at conditioning the actions of the judiciary and the police”, which he warns will directly affect his right to defense and effective judicial protection, creating the possibility of defence, and the possibility of legal damage.
