flag Spain’s top prosecutor resigns after Supreme Court finds him guilty of leaking info in a tax fraud case.

flag 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. flag 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. flag 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. flag The government expressed respect for the decision but criticized the lack of a unanimous verdict and detailed reasoning, calling the outcome troubling. flag His resignation paves the way for a new attorney general, the fourth appointment since Sánchez took office in 2018.
