Global Update:
The following report highlights an important international development currently attracting worldwide attention.
Leire Díez held “at least three meetings” with the general director of the Civil Guard, Mercedes González, so that she could “initiate administrative actions” against the agents themselves who were investigating the causes of corruption that affected the PSOE and Pedro Sánchez’s entourage. This is stated in a UCO report incorporated into the summary of the Leire case instructed by the judge of the National Court Santiago Pedraz to which EL ESPAÑOL has had access. In it, the agents highlight that there was a direct “relationship” between both women, even prior to González’s appointment as head of the Armed Institute. According to the UCO, after González’s arrival at the General Directorate “it has been possible to verify the existence of at least three meetings between the two”, held between September 2024 and April 2025. The investigators maintain that the woman known as the PSOE plumber used this supposed proximity to “launch a series of actions in which, through interviews personal relations with the general director of the Civil Guard, he would have managed to instigate the latter to initiate administrative actions against the UCO.”From the conversations that the UCO has intervened, the investigators conclude a relationship of trust between the two.”My next conversation is going to be with the Director of the Civil Guard[. .. ] I trust him” or “I have to talk to Mercedes. There is no trust with Marlaska. I’ll call you today”, are some of the messages from the former socialist militant in her WhatsApp conversations. The UCO believes that Díez could use her “friendship with the DG of the GC” (as she writes) in matters related to the activity being investigated in the case. Thus, in this sense, she went so far as to say to the former president of the SEPI Vicente Fernández, investigated in the case: “I have to check it, but I think that the UCO unit that intervened is the same one that we are investigating. And remember that I have a friendship with the DG of the GC.” In another conversation, Díez explained to the lawyer Ismael Oliver, accused in the case: “The meeting with the director of the GC was not bad” and “I’m going to see if I continue to feed that path.” Oliver responded: “I’m very happy. Let’s see if at least we stop the lynching and we can confront ourselves with a certain equality of arms.” WhatsApp deletedIn May 2025 and through the internal information channels of the Guard itself Civilian, González would have been “aware” that, on the part of Díez and other people, a “smear campaign against the UCO” was being developed. The UCO agents detail that, on the 11th of that month, the automatic deletion of messages was activated by González “in the conversation between the two, with a cadence period of 24 hours.” And on February 12 of that year González made a call to Díez “with a duration of thirteen seconds.”According to the UCO, there are also indications from which “it appears” that Díez “would be sending” to González “information obtained in the framework of the supposedly criminal activity that he had been carrying out.”And that he had among “his objectives the Civil Guard itself and, more specifically, the UCO and some of its members.”And he assures that Díez would have intended to start an “internal investigation” within the Civil Guard and directed against the UCO, “predictably using the director herself.”The agents point out in the documentation included in the summary that the alleged plot “would have carried out a set of indicatively criminal actions.” “Whose ultimate goal would have been to protect the interests at stake by virtue of a series of judicial cases affecting the PSOE and, directly or indirectly, certain members of the Government or its president”, Pedro Sánchez. Access “to those at the top” The relationship between Leire Díez and Mercedes González is also reflected in several statements testimonies incorporated into the summary. Several witnesses recount how Díez alluded to his closeness with the general director of the Civil Guard in conversations held with third parties. One of them is that of commander Rubén Villalba, who appeared “voluntarily” before UCO agents on May 28, just one day after the unit searched the PSOE headquarters in Ferraz in search of documentation related to the alleged payments to Díez. According to his story, Leire Díez presented himself as a person with access to “those at the top” and “those at the top of the Government” and began to take an interest in various investigations related to the hydrocarbon sector, as well as information about the UCO and several of its main commanders. During that meeting, which took place on March 10, 2025 between Díez and Villalba, always according to the commander’s testimony, Díez conveyed his intention to promote a “purge” within the Civil Guard to remove that she considered “subversive elements” of the force. Villalba assured that the former socialist leader explained to her that there was an initial plan to act against the institution “like an elephant in a china shop.” The statement adds that, at the end of that meeting, Díez informed her that “the Director of the Civil Guard was waiting for feedback from said meeting.” In a second meeting held on March 26, 2025, the former socialist militant again asked her for information about commands. of the Civil Guard and those responsible for different investigations and assured him that he planned to meet with Mercedes González “to talk about him and his situation.”
