Judge Biedma denounces being followed by car by a collaborator in the 'Leire Díez case' plot

Judge Beatriz Biedma, who led the investigation against Pedro Sánchez's brother, has reported to the National Police that a collaborator in the plot of the Leire Díez case followed her by car after her statement as a victim in the National Court.

According to the report sent to the court, the magistrate explained that on October 8, after appearing before the instructor Santiago Pedraz in Madrid and returning to Badajoz, she was heading from the Badajoz airport to her home when "the eldest of her daughters told her that a white car", which "has been placed in parallel", was "occupied" by the former magistrate Luis Sáenz de Tejada, accused of allegedly acting together with the former socialist militant Leire Díez.

“In relation to that meeting,” Biedma's complaint continues, the magistrate states that “she does not know how that person could have known that the declarant was going to make that trip at that time, fearing that they could have placed some type of locator or GPS device in her vehicle.”

During her statement at the National Court, the judge told instructor Santiago Pedraz how she learned that she had suffered alleged surveillance and maneuvers against her. "I have no protection. There, doing something to me is very easy," he said on October 8, when that alleged encounter occurred on the highway with Sáenz de Tejada and before he was given an escort this Wednesday.

According to an audio of her statement, to which EL PAÍS had access, Biedma recounted how she felt threatened and how she was told that former judge Luis Sáenz de Tejada, an alleged collaborator in the suspected plot, contacted Cintia Rocho, alias Celsa, linked to an alleged drug clan. Rocho assured the Civil Guard that Sáenz de Tejada told him that the Badajoz magistrate “was a pain in the ass and that she had to be eliminated.” A version that he has denied: “I never spoke with Cintia.”
