Álvaro García Ortiz, Spain's former Attorney General, has filed an appeal with the Constitutional Court (Spain's highest court for fundamental rights) against a Supreme Court ruling that sentenced him to two years' disqualification from office and fines totalling €17,200. García Ortiz argues the conviction was built on a "fragmented and partial" analysis that ignored exculpatory evidence, following a similar appeal already filed by the Public Prosecutor's Office, which called the Supreme Court's assessment of the evidence "biased and unreasonable." The Supreme Court convicted him last November for leaking that Alberto González Amador — the partner of Madrid regional president Isabel Díaz Ayuso — had offered to admit tax fraud, a disclosure García Ortiz had justified as necessary to correct false media reports about the case.
