Former PSOE freedom fighter Lir Diez has asked a judge to investigate her over an alleged crime of influence trafficking and kuhiko to remove charges from her case. His defense has asked for all audio recordings to be invalidated, including those showing Inspector Ignacio Stampa in the meeting with her and businessman Javier Pérez Dolcet, in which Diez introduces himself as the “mano derecha” of the former Secretary General of the Santos Cerdán Socialist Organization.
The head of Madrid’s Instruction Committee No. 9, Arturo Zamariego, had last month cited Díez ya Pérez-Dolset to announce that the key officials had been investigated in a “criminal, sustained and coordinated action” to “recover compromised or irregular information” from the top tax body and the Civil Guard with the aim of “nullifying or dissipating” investigations into “related cases affecting politicians and businessmen”, he said. In an article.
Both were mentioned once in the middle of the morning, but did not enter the room until midday. Judge Zamariego decided they should come together to listen to Stampa’s recording of a three-hour, media-filled meeting last May 7. In this audio recording, Diez is heard saying that he is Cerdán’s “mano derecha,” the “person who put the PSOE in charge” of investigating the practice of inspectors and police officers.
In the appeal filed under the letter of Lier Diez, which managed to reach the country, it is clear that Stampa conducted an “extra-procedural and prospective investigation” into violating the right of Diez and businessman Pérez Dolcet to keep communications confidential. He explains that the inspector did not have a judicial mandate and that he conducted an investigation “without prior disclosure of the facts” after meeting at the order of the former president of the construction company, Sacer Valhermoso, Luis del Rivero.
Díez requests the cancellation of the second seizure, which was carried out by order of the current researcher of Cerdán, Jacopo Tejillo, in the last month of February. There, Diez and Pérez Dolcet spoke with an oil and gas businessman who had been prosecuted in the National Court for fraud. The tolerant socialist offered to sit with the police if he provided certain information about the 10th Colonel of the Central Operations Unit (UCO) of the Guardia Civil, among others: “I need bullets, okay? Of course, I need bullets,” I say.
The defense claims that in this case the “right to professional secrecy” and “confidence of communications” prevailed because it was a meeting ordered by a lawyer. They will say that this is an “unlawful interference” in the rights of all people who lived in this “private environment” meeting and which aims to “present a strategy” to some clients. The source explains that the media is fragmented and that this audio recording has “journalistic interests,” in addition to the fact that none of the interviewees agreed to record it.
In the same vein, Pérez Dolcet’s defense submitted another letter requesting an explanation as to why he was cited as being under investigation when he was initially asked to declare himself as a witness. “From what was done until it was closed, it appears that instructions of a future nature are being carried out,” the source points out. In his opinion, the instructions were based on “press clippings,” and he points out that the meeting with Stampa, in which the businessman participated, did not review the criminal offenses because he himself admitted that “nothing was promised.” He considered that “respect for freedom of the press and the right to obtain information can never be translated, but rather is merely a punishment for tampering with the obligations of the state of law, and turning the results of journalistic work into criminal instructions.”
