Embattled Sanchez’s situation is worsening by the day – Wiki CommonsDíez is also accused of trying to derail the corruption case against Sánchez’s brother.Spanish Prime Minister Pedro better have enjoyed the days he spent in the company of leftist Pope Leo XIV, because those moments of positive agenda didn’t last.We have been reporting on how the Socialist ‘leader’ is embroiled in an array of corruption scandals and prosecutions that have so far ensnared his brother, his wife, several of his key allies – notably the former Prime Minister José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero.Now, as the days when the Pope treated him like a pop star fade in the past, Sánchez is being dragged to the center of the investigations against a former Socialist Party member, director of public companies, Leire Díez.Díez is accused of a dizzying list of crimes, such as influence peddling, bribery, obstruction of justice, fraud, document forgery, and embezzlement.And today (15), it arises that Spanish police have identified the initials ‘P.S.’ that occur several times in Díez’s diary with the prime minister, as they investigate efforts to derail the case against Sánchez’s brother.Euronews reported:“A personal diary seized from Leire Díez, a former member of Spain’s ruling Spanish Socialist Workers’ Party (PSOE), contains at least four references to Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, according to a report by the Central Operative Unit (UCO) of the Civil Guard. In that report, the UCO said that the initials ‘P.S.’ that appear repeatedly in Díez’s notebooks refer to Sánchez. That identification comes via an entry in which Díez herself refers to David Sánchez, the prime minister’s brother, as ‘brother of P.S.’.”“Investigators include that excerpt in the context of what they describe as a ‘possible strategy’ to derail the legal proceedings concerning the brother of the head of government. According to the report, that strategy is said to have envisaged two avenues: challenging the judge in the case after applying to join the proceedings as a popular prosecution and trying to replace David Sánchez’s lawyer. Both options appear in Díez’s own notebooks.”“The report also points to the [socialist] party’s former number three, Santos Cerdán, as the driving force both behind the hiring of the lawyers who devised those steps together with Díez, and behind the payment of the trips she made to attend various meetings.Among the most significant references in the diary is an entry dated 3 February 2025 in which Díez notes a ‘meeting with P.S.’, alongside other references linked to the [corruption suspect] Koldo [García Izaguirre] network. On another earlier page there is an entry that reads: “Copy, USB stick, chain of custody, queries of Ábalos and P.S. databases,” apparently relating to former minister [and corruption defendant] José Luis Ábalos.”Díez wanted to take over the defense of David Sánchez, the prime minister’s brother, or ‘brother of P.S.’.Read more:SHOCK VIDEO: Hundreds of African Men Try to Storm the Border Between Morocco and the Spanish Enclave of Ceuta/*!
