Spain's Civil Guard Central Operating Unit (UCO) carried out measures on Wednesday at the headquarters of the Socialist party PSOE in Madrid aimed at gathering documentation in connection with several investigations. The Central Court in Madrid ordered the seizure of information in the case known as the SEPI case and in the case known as the "PSOE plumber." Leire Díez is charged in these cases; according to investigators, she allegedly participated in a plan aimed at obstructing judicial proceedings. El Pais ↗ El Mundo ↗
The investigation also includes former Socialist officials, including Gaspar Zarrías and Santos Cerdán, as well as businessman Javier Pérez Dolset. According to the disclosed court file, the judge of the Audiencia Nacional is examining the role of the PSOE and its former organization secretary Santos Cerdán in providing false invoices to Leire Díez with the aim of concealing corruption cases within the Socialist party. Judge Ramón Zamarriego had previously attributed to Leire Díez a "criminal plan" directed against the UCO and the anti-corruption office. These investigations are now being merged into a single proceeding led by judge Santiago Pedraz. El Mundo ↗
Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez stated that he does not underestimate the legal investigations surrounding the PSOE, but said that these cases do not disrupt the functioning of the government. In response to the developments, the leader of the People's Party, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, called on the political partners supporting the government to urgently state their position on the continuation of the legislative term.
