The Prosecutor’s Office supports the partial pardon for Álvaro García Ortiz

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.”

Two climbers attended to Jonathan Andic after the father’s fall

On December 14, 2024, Isak and Jonathan Andic were not alone on the Montserrat mountain. Father and son parked their vehicles in the Collbató parking lot from which the Les Feixades path starts, a slippery but simple trail that connects the Salnitre caves with the Montserrat monastery. After barely ten minutes, the 71-year-old businessman fell into the void and died from the severe injuries of the impact. The son, who was released on Tuesday after posting a bail of one million euros and is accused of homicide, took four minutes to make the first call and it was to his father’s partner, Estefanía Knuth. Two minutes later he alerted 112 to ask for help. After half an hour, two climbers who had been practicing sport in the massif appeared on the trail and approached Jonathan, alerted by his cries of distress, according to sources familiar with the investigation that La Vanguardia has been able to learn.

The truth is that their packages usually pay VAT on less than their real value; social security contributions and personal income tax are lost by avoiding setting up a chain of stores, workers, and local suppliers; and companies do not face corporate tax like local ones, as these are brands with a foreign base and minimal presence in Spain.
