Officers from the Central Operational Unit (UCO) of the Spanish Civil Guard executed a search operation at the national headquarters of the Spanish Socialist Workers’ Party (PSOE). The action was carried out following a judicial order pertaining to specific, confidential aspects of the investigation involving Leire Díez. Díez, identified as a former intermediary connected to the spanish party, is currently under investigation for allegations of exerting undue influence.
The Civil Guard maintained a presence at the Ferraz street building since the morning as part of this specialized operation. The scope of the search is reportedly focused on matters involving Vicente Fernández, the former president of the State Company for Industrial Investments (SEPI), a major state investment firm. Both Díez and Fernández were previously detained by the UCO in October.
In addition to the investigation at the party’s headquarters, officers are also checking the residence of Gaspar Zarrías in P. The operation underscores an ongoing judicial inquiry into figures associated with the political sphere and state-owned enterprises. The proceedings are linked to the complex details of the Leire Díez case, suggesting that the investigation into influence remains active and multifaceted.
The focus on the PSOE headquarters highlights the connection between the political structure and the individuals under scrutiny within the spanish context.
