Santos Cerdán and Leire Díez exemplified on Monday the staging of a story that will be repeated in the coming months while the judicial siege is intensified to the surroundings of Pedro Sánchez. The “former number” three of the PSOE and the “fontanera” who said he acted in his name were presented as victims of political dye actions and promoting a campaign against justice and the press with which the hot autumn that affects the president of the Government and that starts Wednesday with the new citation of his wife in the courts.
The former secretary of the Socialists gave a blow to the “Koldo case” when requesting their release and the citation of members of the Civil Guard Information Service. The defense of the Navarrese politician formulated the petition in two hard writings in which he stated again to the existence of political motivations to act against him. As he said, his unconditional prison brings the cause of the negotiations that he led “as senior responsible for the main government party” that “They have not liked an important part of the powers of the State.”
In parallel to the presentation of this writing, Leire Díez appeared in the commission of the “Koldo” of the Senate with the aim of separating himself from the PSOE. However, in an intervention full of contradictions He ended up recognizing his links with Santos Cerdán and A meeting in Ferraz In the days of reflection of Pedro Sánchez. As the reason revealed, his withdrawal, which occurred in April last year, agreed with the siege resurgence to judges and agents who investigated the causes of his family.
Attack to the already fiscal journalists
“No one has ordered me. It is absolutely false“said the former PSOE militant. However, and as this media has been informing, she transferred some of the interlocutors with whom she gathered that she was in the name of Santos Cerdán and, specifically, of Ferraz. According to the sources consulted, one of these came to tell him that “You don’t play with the family”in reference to an operation that would intend to look for dirty rags of Judge Beatriz Biedma, who has investigated and prosecuted David Sánchez for two crimes of corruption.
In this regard, the country published on Monday the excerpt from a meeting that held with which it was Secretary of State for Security, Francisco Martínez, and in which he told him that he would give part to Ferraz of the information that would happen to him. “And that is transferred to who?” Asked the “former two of the Ministry of Interior, to which she replied: “To those who have told me to put me in front of this”. In line, he added that they were “on Ferraz Street Communicated with the Moncloa Palace “. “As you well know, the Ferraz Street party governs,” he added.
During his appearance Díez recalled the constitutional mandate of protection of the journalistic sources to decline to pronounce on the content of the pendrive that led to the PSOE. However, he lashed out several times against fellow professionals, whom he accused of Make false information in order to boost judicial causes against her. He even insinuated that he knows the sources of which these journalists would be nourished, in a clear notice to navigators. Also accused of lying to the two prosecutors who denounced her before her superiors, in one of the cases for attempted bribery.
Ferraz’s “justice”
Nor did he want to rule on the content of his meetings ensuring that it is a judicialized issue on which will declare as investigated on November 11. However, he could not explain why he went to Ferraz and not to the Prosecutor’s Office to deliver the famous pendrive with the result of his information work. This pendrive contains material that, far from being new, has been prosecuted for years in piece 34 of the Villarejo case and has already been the analysis of the Internal Affairs Unit (UAI) of the National Police.
Similarly, he marked distances with Cerdán and said it is “Absolutely false” that will report Your performances. On the contrary, these are inquiries that occurred within the framework of their work as a research journalist. But when asked if she had ever published some research work, the answer was negative, which led to the “popular” senator Alejo Joaquín Miranda de Larra ironized with his work as “Justiciera”.
But despite the distance drawn with Santos Cerdán, the ties are undeniable. He threw balls out when asked about his links with the alleged leader of the Koldo case, whose defense exercises Benet Salellas and Jacobo Teijelo; The latter criminal who was at the meeting she held with Alejandro Hamlyn at the beginning of the year. The meeting, which was held by videoconference, aimed to obtain dirty rags of anti -corruption prosecutors and Lieutenant Colonel of the UCO, Antonio Balas. “If bullets are dead, better”he said about it.
The “Lawfare” Theory
Now in this new brief of Cerdán that signs Teijelo and Salellas The “Lawfare” theory is reinforced And it is suggested that he is the victim of a political hunting. It is a defense strategy that already drew on June 30, day that was interrogated for its alleged leadership role in the Koldo plot and ended with its entry into provisional imprisonment without bail.
In the absence of the Constitutional Court to rule on the foreseeable inadmissibility of its appeal against jail, their lawyers say that their rights are being violated and that there is no evidence that really justifies the private measure. In addition, in another separate letter they reproach that they have not been transferred from the full content of summary And they have requested a series of statement statements of the Civil Guard with which the action of the armed institute in these proceedings is intended.
Specifically, he has proposed that he is cited to declare the commander of the Civil Guard charged in the Koldo Rubén Villalba case, as well as his subordinates and who was his boss in the information service. His defense argues that they are “essential” citations To clarify if there was An operation to destroy tests of the Civil Guard.
Another Headquarters of the Civil Guard
Precisely Villalba becomes another link between Cerdán and Leire Díez, since the latter moved threads “through a third” to meet with him. Legal sources confirm to this medium that there were two appointments in which the “fontanera” asked him dirty rags of Victor of Aldama –Converted in the main enemy of the government after offering to pull the blanket – and also of the Information service to which it belonged for many years. The former PSOE militant offered him, in return, a destination outside of Spain, close to the Anti -Corruption Prosecutor and a lawyer of his rope. Villalba rejected him flat.
Precisely Díez referred to the lawyer who owns the office defended by Villalba (the prestigious criminalist José Antonio Choclán) whom he linked to the Popular Party. However, Leire Díez’s maneuvers behind which Santos Cerdán would hide to try to overshadow the judicial scandals that affect Ferraz do not bear fruit.
Precisely, the wife of the President of the Government is called to appear tomorrow Wednesday before Judge Juan Carlos Peinado for embezzlement of public flows. This citation is the Output gun of an avalanche of judicial actions That, on the occasion of the beginning of the judicial course, they will happen in the causes of corruption that affect the president of the Government. This despite the maneuvers that emissaries such as Leire Díez itself would have promoted for more than a year to avoid the progress of the investigations and that would go through trying to annul Judges, Judicial Police, the Anti -Corruption Prosecutor’s Office and, now also, journalists.
