Zapatero asked the judge to provide the information without expurging whose leakage is now being investigated

The lawyer for former Spanish Prime Minister José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero, Víctor Moreno Catena, has protested to a judge over the unauthorized disclosure of sensitive information related to his client’s case. In a June 2nd letter, he argued that police reports, prosecutors' documents, and judicial rulings contained references to conversations stored on devices not available to the defense, which were crucial for his client’s legal defense. He emphasized that partial disclosure violated due process, equality between parties, and procedural integrity. While other defense teams have requested restrictions on non-essential personal data, the court has yet to fully grant access to all materials. Recently, leaked information about the investigation led to further complaints from Moreno Catena, who now demands limited access to the information rather than unrestricted release.
