Ayuso points to "the powers of the State" after the hacking of emails between her partner and her lawyers

The law firm that handles the criminal defense of Alberto González, the partner of Isabel Díaz Ayuso accused of several crimes of tax fraud and document falsification, has reported the hacking of the computers of the criminal lawyer and the prosecutor to "get hold of the emails crossed with your customer". According to sources from Sol - headquarters of the regional government of the Community of Madrid (CAM) -, "the entry system into the systems is very sophisticated and only within the reach of the states."

Ayuso was asked this afternoon about how contradictory it is for the CAM itself to intervene in a "private matter" as she has been defending. "I cannot speak for an individual because they have not chosen me to act as a bride, but my government, like any other administration, can show its concern because the State is supposed to protect each and every one of them." citizens. And here the opposite is happening," said the regional president.

"It is not about an individual, but about the rule of law. The feeling I have is that any citizen who is uncomfortable for this Government will have to face all the powers of the State and will be stripped of their rights, as we are seeing. Especially if it is good to annihilate a political adversary," Ayuso added in reference to herself.

The complaint, provided by Sol sources and to which La Vanguardia has had access, reports that "the two email accounts received on the morning of April 2, at 11 a.m. 39 minutes, an email sent from the personal email from Mr. Alberto González Amador, email that was answered at 12:11 p.m.

And a few hours after the email was received and responded to, as detailed in the text, those emails disappeared from the computer systems and, after about six hours, reappeared in the systems on April 3, at midnight. and 09 minutes".

The Garrido law firm, which is handling the tax case, brought these facts to the attention of a computer expert who, "after preliminarily analyzing the systems" determined the existence of a cyberattack that, beyond the aforementioned emails, "had no impact on the rest of the corporate mailboxes".

The expert concludes that the cyberattack would have consisted of "removing the information (emails) from the systems (presumably for downloading and/or extraction of attached files with hundreds of pages) and subsequently delivering them again to the mailboxes of the users, thus not raising suspicions about the actions carried out".

With all this, the Garrido law firm has requested help from Microsoft, as a service provider, to provide "whatever information it has stored about what happened in relation to the operation of the email services."

Alberto González Amador, the companion of the president of the Community of Madrid, Isabel Díaz Ayuso, has been summoned to testify as an investigator for two tax crimes and one of document falsification for having used front companies and issuing false invoices to achieve a reduction in maximum corporate tax. The Tax Agency, in charge of inspecting your company, has detected fraud of 350,000 euros in two fiscal years.

The surprising data of his company, with an increase in business volume of eight times more in two years, with a tax payment quota of four times less, set off all the alarms to the treasury, which discovered that what González had achieved was reduce their tax base by issuing false invoices as expenses in order to stop paying the Treasury what they really owed.

Similarly, there are two other open processes that he himself has opened. As we announced exclusively in this newspaper, Ayuso's partner has filed a complaint against the chief prosecutor of Madrid, Pilar Rodríguez Fernández, and against the economic crimes prosecutor Julián Salto for the revelation of secret data that they learned about through reason for their charges and that they referred to the tax investigation opened against Alberto González.
