The PSOE has disclosed in court that it paid former militant Leire D\u00edez<\/b> a total of 44,859.40 gross euros for communications work done for its Cantabrian federation between 2015 and 2017. This amount is notably higher than the 15,612 euros previously communicated by the party to Judge Arturo Zamarriego, who oversees the case in Madrid. This revelation comes amid a crucial phase in the investigation, as Judge Santiago Pedraz<\/b> has started to release details from the ongoing summary.<\/p>\n

On May 26, 2026, Pedraz ordered the Central Operational Unit (UCO) of the Civil Guard to gather accounting documents, corporate emails, and access records from the PSOE headquarters in Madrid. The operation lasted over twelve hours and included searches at the residences of key figures like Santos Cerd\u00e1n, the former Secretary of Organization, and Gaspar Zarr\u00edas, a former vice president.<\/p>\n

In his judicial order, Pedraz outlined a supposed organization led by Cerd\u00e1n and coordinated by D\u00edez, with the stated goal of \u201csystematically and continuously destabilizing any judicial procedure or police action\u201d detrimental to the interests of the PSOE and the Government.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
