NewzJudge Santiago Pedraz of the National Court has rejected the request to impute the PSOE in the 'Leire Díez' case at this time. Following the criteria of the Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office, the judge determined that further investigative steps are required before such a measure can be considered. Specifically, the court intends to await additional proceedings, including the testimony of former socialist leader Santos Cerdán, to establish whether there is an objective connection between the facts and the party.
While the court acknowledged that the alleged facts could potentially present an appearance of criminal activity in the abstract, the judge noted that there is currently no evidence to reasonably support such a claim. The decision follows a request for imputation filed by the PP, which the court has deferred until the ongoing investigation clarifies the necessary elements of proof.
