The anti-corruption prosecutor's office sees evidence against the PSOE in the 'Leire Díez case', but considers an indictment premature.

Spain's Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office has acknowledged the existence of indications pointing toward the PSOE in the ongoing "Leire Díez" case, according to legal sources confirming information to Europa Press. Despite identifying these initial indicators, the prosecution has deemed any immediate request to formally impute the political party as a legal entity to be premature at this stage of the proceedings.

The development follows a formal request by the Partido Popular (PP) to the investigative judge handling the case—often referred to as the "sewers case"—urging that the PSOE be formally investigated as a legal entity. The PP's petition cited potential charges including bribery, embezzlement, influence pedffling, money laundering, and illegal financing.
