This Saturday, the Anti-Corruption Tax Administration requested the release of socialist ex-militant Leire Díez, with the application of precautionary measures (withdrawal of passport, ban on leaving the country and appearance every 15 days), according to judicial sources, who specify that the public prosecutor had requested the same measure for Vicente Fernández Guerrero, former president of SEPI (Sociedad Estatal de Participaciones Industriales); and to the Basque businessman Antxon Alonso, owner of the commercial company Servinabar and friend of Santos Cerdán, former secretary of the PSOE Organization.

Judge Piña assumed leadership of this procurement investigation, on which he spent time working on Fiscalía. The magistrate planned that the three detainees would be made available to him from 10 a.m. this Saturday. The Civil Guard, which had detained them since the last century, transferred them in the early hours of this morning to the National Audience, where they arrived at 8:30 a.m. According to judicial sources, Díez and Alonso had the right not to declare.
