Diego Villafañe, a close associate of former Chief Prosecutor Álvaro García Ortiz, testified before Spain’s National Court that he met with Leire Díez, known as the 'plumber' of the Spanish Socialist Workers’ Party (PSOE), but claimed he was unaware of her background and considered the meetings unimportant. The meetings took place at the headquarters of the Technical Secretariat in March and April 2025, during which Jacobo Teijelo, now under investigation, and Leire Díez were present. According to the State Prosecution Office, Díez was introduced as a colleague of Teijelo. Villafañe stated that no formal records were made of these meetings, and they were not logged in the visitor book at Fortuny. These encounters are part of an alleged corruption scheme led by former PSOE Organization Secretary Santos Cerdán, aimed at undermining anti-corruption prosecutors. The meetings occurred after El Confidencial had exposed Díez’s activities, giving them public relevance.
