In Catalonia, a Civil Guard report from the Central Operative Unit (UCO) alleges that a group involving Leire Díez sought to protect the PSOE, the Government and its president, Pedro Sánchez.
The report says this conclusion comes from an analysis of evidence gathered in Catalonia. It also states that the agents identified the existence of a group of people who, during a period covering at least 2024 and 2025, would have carried out a set of supposedly criminal actions.
The UCO says those actions were reportedly designed to shield high-level political figures. The report does not set out the exact nature of the alleged actions, but it points to a sustained operation over at least two years.
At this stage, the report does not give further detail on the specific places in Catalonia or the methods used. No official response or next steps were included in the source material.
