The majority of the 32 members that make up the Board of Prosecutors have defended the inadmissibility of the complaint filed by the partner of Isabel Díaz Ayuso against the Prosecutor's Office for providing information about some emails between the prosecutor and his lawyer trying to reach an agreement not to having to go to trial for two tax crimes and another for document falsification.
According to sources present at the Board, the majority has considered that there is no crime contained in the complaint nor is there evidence to investigate the prosecutor in the case, his boss, or the State Attorney General.
The Board had to meet at the request of the prosecutor in charge of analyzing the complaint after receiving the order from the number two of the Attorney General's Office, María Ángeles Sánchez Conde, to reject the complaint without carrying out any prior diligence.
The Board has considered that the proceedings that the prosecutor intended to carry out were an excess of limits and that is why they have reported against it. The Attorney General, Álvaro García, has not participated in the Meeting, assuming responsibility for the statement.
The origin of the matter was that after learning that the Prosecutor's Office had denounced Alberto González, partner of the Madrid president, for defrauding the treasury of 350,000 euros, emails between the businessman's lawyer and the prosecutor of the case to try to reach an agreement to avoid trial if he admitted the facts and paid a fine.
However, this first leak was self-interested and only a portion of the emails were given to try to make people believe that there was an operation orchestrated by the attorney general to go against González for being Ayuso's partner.
As a result of such accusations, the Prosecutor's Office decided to issue a published statement with the detailed chronology of the contacts between the prosecutor and the lawyer to expose the reality of the events and that it was the lawyer who offered the agreement.
After the publication of this statement, González filed a complaint against the Prosecutor's Office, a complaint supported by the Madrid Bar Association, which in turn filed another complaint.
After the media uproar created, the attorney general came out publicly to defend the actions of the Prosecutor's Office with that statement, which, in his opinion, "was limited to denying, with chronologically systematized facts, false and interested information previously published by some media."
García Ortiz's argument, now supported by the Board, is that the duty of confidentiality cannot be considered violated when the object of the communication is in the public domain as a result of "undesirable leaks."
