The director of the Civil Guard, Mercedes González, who until now had denied any meeting with former PSOE militant Leire Díez, now admits to at least two meetings with the so-called socialist ‘plumber’, although she places them outside the headquarters of the armed institute. Through a statement, the highest-ranking official of the body assures that “she has never interfered in any investigation carried out by the agents” of the body she directs. And that communications were cut off after Díez proposed that she reinstate Commander Rubén Villalaba, who was removed after being charged in the Koldo Case. Something González rejected.

Last-minute surprise in the trial against David Sánchez. The court admitted last night the PP’s request for the president’s brother to face a new accusation of malfeasance, which would entail six years in prison, double the three that were requested until now.

The Central Operative Unit (UCO) of the Civil Guard has asked the judge to delve deeper into the financial movements of both the PSOE and the PSC over the last two years. In a written request, the agents intend for the investigating judge Santiago Pedraz to give them the green light to demand the banking and tax movements of the socialists in search of alleged diversions of money that could have ended up in the hands of the plot led by the former organization secretary Santos Cerdán and his right-hand woman Leire Díez.
