Díez ditches: “She is my trust.” That meeting took place on December 10, 2024. The businessman Javier Pérez Dolset also participated in it. The ‘Leire case’ The judge of the National Court Santiago Pedraz investigates the latter, Díez, Teijelo and Yepes, among other people, in the so-called Leire case. According to the magistrate, the plumber, starting in 2024, would have received money from Santos Cerdán, “from the funds of the Socialist Party”, to deploy an operation against civil guards, prosecutors and judges uncomfortable for the Government and for its president, Pedro Sánchez. In that year, Santos Cerdán was still secretary of the Socialist Organization and deputy. It is no longer. Meanwhile, another judge of the National Court, Ismael Moreno, began to investigate him for the alleged collection of illegal commissions in exchange for the rigging of public works. Pedraz, in addition, is also investigating him in the Leire case. In a recent resolution, the investigator of this case points out that Sánchez Yepes, supposedly, revealed to the Leire plot secrets against his former unit, the Central Operational Unit (UCO) of the Civil Guard, one of the priority objectives of the alleged criminal operation paid for and devised by Cerdán. The civil guard also collaborated – Pedraz points out – to “promote suspicions” against the UCO “before the general director [de la Benemérita, Mercedes González]”.The Central Operational Unit, for example, was in charge in that year 2024 of the investigations that have led to David Sánchez, the brother of the President of the Government, currently being tried and facing three years in prison.

Among them, Judge Beatriz Biedma, who was investigating, two years ago, the David Sánchez case (also called the Hermanísimo case). Days ago, Sánchez Yepes was suspended from his duties on a precautionary basis. Until now, he also worked as a professor of international issues and human rights at the College of Young Guards. Valdemoro, in Madrid. When he met with Leire Díez, this former police commander was already being investigated in a judicial case linked to an alleged fraud in the hydrocarbon sector. Hence, the plumber offered him her help. As can be seen from the recording, in that meeting the idea of discrediting the former Sánchez Yepes unit was raised. In fact, lawyer Jacobo Teijelo goes so far as to affirm that, if they succeed, and, as a result of a domino effect, several legal cases will result. decline thanks to the work of this plot, “the prestige of the UCO is going to be taken for granted.”
