The Anti-Corruption prosecutors in the PSOE’s sewers case have asked the National Court magistrate Santiago Pedraz to contact the Prosecutor General’s Office, headed by Teresa Peramato, to report on the meetings that Ferraz’s plumber, Leire Díez, allegedly held at the Fortuny headquarters during Álvaro García Ortiz’s term.
This is stated in a report, to which EL MUNDO has had access, where Anti-Corruption requests information on the meetings that would have taken place between April 2024 and June 2025 at the Prosecutor General’s Office headquarters with Díez, with Commissioner Villarejo’s lawyer, Antonio Cabrera; with the accused businessman Javier Pérez Dolset and also with the lawyers investigated in this case, Jacobo Teijelo and Ismael Oliver.
According to messages seized by the Civil Guard’s Central Operative Unit (UCO) from Díez, in February 2025, the plumber tells the lawyer of retired commissioner José Manuel Villarejo, Antonio Cabrera, the following: “I’ll tell you. The PGO will receive you. Now I’ll tell you what he told me.”
Likewise, the summary states how, days later, Díez told lawyer Jacobo Teijelo that he was going to receive a call from the Prosecutor General’s Office, apparently for a meeting, and that both would attend that meeting: “They will call you from the PGO. I will go with you.”
The plumber reported that meeting to her close friend, the former president of Sepi Vicente Fernández, also indicted in the National Court. “Jacobo [referring to Jacobo Teijelo] says I should go to all the Prosecutor’s Office meetings because I complement the legal part well. If they do what they said quickly now, things will accelerate.” Faced with this, Fernández asks her if “you see the president?” and Leire replies “no, but the meeting with the Prosecutor General’s Office could make the president adore me directly.”
Likewise, on one of the phones seized from Díez, there is a location from the navigation app Waze with a location in March 2025 at 3:26 PM at number 4 Fortuny Street in Madrid, that is, at the address of the Prosecutor General’s Office headquarters.
In their report, where many other proceedings are requested, the Anti-Corruption prosecutors indicate that “in the event that such meetings had taken place, it is requested to report if there is a record of the visits, their date and time, and the person/s who participated in them.”
For now, Judge Pedraz has not responded to this request, although he will do so shortly. The investigating judge has already requested data on the PSOE’s bank accounts for the years 2024 and 2025, when the alleged criminal organization, aimed at boycotting judicial cases affecting the governing party, the Executive itself, and President Pedro Sánchez’s family, was active.
