The Guardia Civil's Central Operative Unit (UCO) has identified a 'preeminent role' by Spain's State Attorney General, Álvaro García Ortiz, in the alleged leak of sensitive information regarding the partner of Madrid's regional president, Isabel Díaz Ayuso. The information, which involved accusations of tax fraud, was reportedly leaked to the media before reaching the partner's lawyer. Juan Lobato, the Madrid PSOE leader, has denied receiving any such leaked document from Moncloa or being pressured to use it against Ayuso in the Madrid Assembly. The Supreme Court has now summoned Lobato as a witness in the investigation against García Ortiz, indicating the gravity of the situation and the ongoing legal scrutiny.
