State Prosecutor Testifies in Court

Alvaro Garcia Ortiz, the State Prosecutor in Spain, made history by being the first prosecutor to testify in court as a defendant. He faced allegations of leaking documents related to a tax evasion case involving Isabel Diaz Ayuso's boyfriend, Alberto Gonzalez Amador.

Ortiz denied all accusations during his 1.5-hour testimony, stating that he never sent any documents related to Amador via email and had regularly changed his phone for security reasons, deleting all content each time.

The tax evasion case of Amador, the boyfriend of Madrid's regional government president Ayuso, has sparked debates between the ruling left-wing coalition government and the right-wing PP opposition in Spain's internal politics.
