In a legal development that continues to grip the Spanish public, Supreme Court magistrate Ángel Hurtado has issued a summons for Spain's Attorney General, Álvaro García Ortiz, to appear as an investigado (person under investigation) in a case concerning an alleged secrets leak.

This follows a series of controversial events linked to allegations originally propagated by the administration of Isabel Díaz Ayuso, the President of the Community of Madrid.

The case stems from a dispute over a supposed crime of misfeasance, initially publicized by Miguel Ángel Rodríguez, Ayuso's chief of staff, who reportedly leaked an internal communication from the prosecutor involved.

This email, dated March 12, 2024, concerned alleged fiscal misconduct charges against Ayuso's partner.

Rodríguez distributed a selective interpretation of this document to various media outlets, accusing the prosecution and tax inspectors of corruption.

Despite this background, Judge Hurtado seemingly overlooked these elements in his formal order, barely acknowledging the publication by _El Mundo_, one of the newspapers involved.

Hurtado's writing failed to clarify that the publication relied on a potentially illicitly obtained communication between the prosecution and the defense attorney, thus raising significant concerns over the integrity of judicial operations.

Journalists José Precedo (_Eldiario.es_) and Miguel Ángel Campos (Cadena SER) played pivotal roles in refuting these claims, clarifying how they accessed the incriminating February 2 email far before García Ortiz called for an emergency note to debunk Ayuso’s government’s accusations.

Despite their explanations, Hurtado remains unconvinced, dismissing their testimonies as lacking objective data, favoring instead a disputed testimony from March 8 stakeholders.

In a twist of irony, Hurtado has not pursued actions against Rodríguez, whose false declarations during his testimony have been thoroughly challenged.

Rodríguez alleged that _Eldiario.es_ failed to reach out prior to its coverage of Ayuso’s partner’s alleged tax fraud.

The media outlet has presented direct evidence, including mobile screenshots, contradicting Rodríguez's statements.

Judge Hurtado's narrative introduces new angles by implicating Sánchez's central government, suggesting an unproven trajectory of the February 2 email through governmental channels to media outlets like _El Plural_.

No concrete evidence supports these allegations at this stage, leaving open questions about the reach and motivations of potential intra-governmental communications.

This unfolding case continues to shed light on the complex interplay between politics, media, and the judiciary in Spain, highlighting the ongoing tensions around transparency and accountability in public and institutional communications.
