The three-hour and 19-minute audio recording made by Madrid prosecutor Ignacio Stampa of his meeting with former PSOE militant Liri Diez shows that she presented herself as “the person appointed by the PSOE” to investigate irregularities in police reports and the public prosecutor’s office. A recording of that meeting on May 7, which El País had access to, shows details that the prosecutor asked Díez if she was the “right hand” of the former secretary of the Santos Cerdán organization, and she answered in the affirmative.
Diez literally said: “This is a top secret matter and it stays here, but let’s say I’m the one who set the PSOE to see what’s behind all this.” Businessman Javier Pérez Dolcet also attended this meeting. They are both charged before the Investigative Court No. 9 in Madrid with an alleged crime of bribery and peddling, and the Public Prosecutor’s Office accused them of organizing a “criminal plan” to manipulate investigations affecting politicians and businessmen.
