Spain’s top prosecutor to face trial in November over leak case

Spain’s Prosecutor General Álvaro García Ortiz will stand trial in November over accusations of leaking confidential details from a tax fraud case involving the partner of Madrid’s regional leader. The leak allegedly exposed sensitive information about a plea deal, which the defendant later denied knowing. Around 40 witnesses, including prosecutors, journalists, and the accused individual, are expected to testify. The case is unprecedented in Spain’s democratic era and heightens political pressure on the government.
