Now, the Audiencia Nacional has uncovered these dealings and found a large amount of audio material because Díez recorded those clandestine meetings, where she offered agreements with the Prosecutor’s Office and claimed to be the emissary of the PSOE and the Government to “put themselves on the right side of history.”

Perfumes, formulas and millions: Spain, a world power in beauty (although few people know it)

Moscow manipulates the race to the Élysée

France, which will hold its presidential elections in eight months, is a priority target of Vladimir Putin’s destabilizing campaign against the European Union.
