Two Spanish prosecutors' associations, AF and APIF, expressed outrage over the Prosecutor General's Office's insufficient response to revelations of meetings between the former prosecutor general's aide and Leire Díez, allegedly linked to PSOE influence peddling. They question the appearance of neutrality and demand an investigation.
A PSOE operative, Leire Díez, and lawyer Jacobo Teijelo, investigated for alleged links to a plot to obstruct corruption cases, met twice in 2025 with Diego Villafañe, then deputy prosecutor at Spain's State Attorney General's Office. These meetings, held at the office's headquarters, were not officially recorded, raising concerns about transparency and potential obstruction.
La Fiscalía confirma que el fiscal Diego Villafañe se reunió fuera de su sede con Leire Díez y el abogado Jacobo Teijelo, presuntamente implicado en las cloacas del PSOE. García Ortiz fue informado a posteriori y no dio indicaciones. Las reuniones se produjeron en el marco de una investigación judicial.
