Villarejo used as source by alleged PSOE 'plumber' in deal to 'cleanse the deep state'
Former police commissioner José Villarejo allegedly struck a deal with Leire Díez, a former PSOE militant, to exchange information on politicians and judges in exchange for leniency in his own legal cases. Díez reportedly offered Villarejo benefits in his ongoing trials and sought documents on PP and Podemos, while Villarejo provided intelligence on figures like Pedro Sánchez and Mariano Rajoy.
