AI-generated summary
The Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office has ruled on the PSOE's request for indictment in the framework of the Ferraz sewers case.
This Thursday, the Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office sent a letter to the judge of the National Court Santiago Pedraz, instructor of the Ferraz sewage case, where he opposes the accusation of the PSOE as a legal entity for being premature.
As reported by tax sources to EL MUNDO, in the document presented, the Anti-Corruption prosecutors appreciate possible indications of a crime of influence peddling and another of bribery in the actions of the Government party but consider that the request for indictment of the Popular Party is premature since there are still proceedings to be carried out, such as the statement of the former Secretary of Organization of the PSOE Santos Cerdán, accused in this procedure.
As this newspaper reported last Tuesday, the Public Ministry sees criminal signs in Ferraz's actions but ruled out requesting the party's indictment during the electoral period, which gives some protection to the PSOE.
Among other issues, because in this procedure neither Santos Cerdán nor the so-called PSOE plumber, Leire Díez, two of the leaders of the alleged criminal organization, have yet to take a statement as investigated.
