The case centers around the unauthorized disclosure and publication of a confidential police report by Serrano, which was used by the mayor to accuse migrants of sexual assault. Serrano previously testified that he received the note via an anonymous email and later deleted it. The PSOE argues that Serrano needs to clarify how he obtained the email and has asked for access to his emails, WhatsApp messages, and those between him, the mayor, and the city’s security chief. They also seek to subpoena the accounts from the PP, Madrid Community, and the Senate due to Serrano’s parliamentary status.
