The judge of the National Court who handles the 'Leire Díez case', Santiago Pedraz, has asked the former attorneys of former ministerial adviser Koldo García, Leticia de la Hoz and Ismael Oliver, to incorporate into the proceedings new invoices and more documentation relating to the work they carried out.
The request is made this Wednesday by means of a ruling that Europe Press has obtained access to, after De la Hoz filed several invoices with which the lawyer stated that she has not received payments from the PSOE for the defense of Koldo, a defense she has renounced this same week.
De la Hoz and Oliver appear as those under investigation in the case led by Pedraz, in which a purported plot aimed at interfering in judicial proceedings that affect the Government and the PSOE is being examined, allegedly led by the former socialist party leader Santos Cerdán and coordinated by former party member Leire Díez.
In the case of De la Hoz, the judge asks her to specify whether the invoices already submitted "are the only ones" and to detail "the amounts she has collected for such concept and for the entire period in which she has carried out the defense" of the former ministerial adviser, who was sentenced to 19 years in prison by the Supreme Court in the 'masks case' and who is also being investigated in the 'Koldo case' at the National Court.
Regarding Oliver, Pedraz urges him to send documentation and to justify the origin and concept of the 105,122.76 euros that he received from the firm that defends the former Andalusian party leader Gaspar Zarrías, also charged in this proceeding.
Sources close to Zarrías's defense have told Europe Press that said sum corresponds to the representation he carried out together with Oliver for Venezuelan former deputy minister Nervis Villalobos --also being investigated in this case-- in other proceedings that were already underway against him at the National Court.
In the same ruling, Pedraz emphasizes that both attorneys, in their capacity as those under investigation, retain the right not to hand over documentation if they consider that it could amount to their own incrimination.
