The Prosecutor’s Office supports the partial pardon for the former Attorney General Álvaro García Ortiz, convicted of a crime of disclosure of documents. The report has been submitted to the Supreme Court, which must now issue its own to be delivered to the Ministry of Justice for evaluation. The deputy prosecutor of the high court argues that the conviction has led the former number 1 of the public ministry to “intense and disproportionate extrapenal consequences.”

The political and diplomatic war unleashed around Isabel Díaz Ayuso’s institutional trip to Mexico has entered uncharted territory after the Community of Madrid issued a harsh official statement directly accusing Claudia Sheinbaum’s government of trying to sabotage the presence of the Madrid president at the Platino awards and of having caused, through their pressures, the early cancellation of part of the trip’s agenda. This decision became known just a few hours after the Madrid opposition accused her of having taken a “paid vacation” in Riviera Maya, after clearing her official agenda for 48 hours to travel to the Mexican tourist area.

Andalusia, this time its waters of Huelva, has once again been the scene of a tragedy that strikes the Civil Guard. On the day the institution celebrated the largest cocaine seizure so far in the world, two of its men, a captain and a civil guard, aged 54 and 55, died when their Maritime Service vessels, the patrol boat Rio Antas and a rigid inflatable boat of the corps in which the two deceased were traveling, collided while trying to cut off the passage to a drug-running boat. The rigid inflatable boat is 12 meters long and has three engines, similar in structure, but much larger and faster than the zodiac run over by a drug-running boat in Barbate, in February 2024, in which two civil guards died.
