Spain’s top prosecutor resigns after Supreme Court finds him guilty of leaking info in a tax fraud case.
Spain’s top prosecutor, Álvaro García Ortiz, has resigned after the Supreme Court found him guilty of leaking confidential information in a tax fraud case involving the partner of Madrid’s regional leader, Isabel Díaz Ayuso.
The ruling, which carries a potential two-year ban from office, marks a rare accountability for a high-ranking judicial official and has strained Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez’s leftist coalition, which had defended García Ortiz since his 2022 appointment.
Though the court has not yet issued a full rationale, García Ortiz cited respect for judicial decisions and loyalty to public service in his resignation letter.
The government expressed respect for the decision but criticized the lack of a unanimous verdict and detailed reasoning, calling the outcome troubling.
His resignation paves the way for a new attorney general, the fourth appointment since Sánchez took office in 2018.
