PSOE asks judge in Leire case to protect their banking data with a "purge"

El Periódico Mediterráneo - General1 September 2026 at 11:45

PSOE asked the judge of the National Court, Santiago Pedraz, to proceed with the "purge" of its banking data in the context of the Leire case. The socialists want all data that is not strictly necessary for the investigation to be deleted or protected.

The party argues that its banking data that does not have a direct relationship with the actions related to the alleged coercion of investigators of cases against the party or against people linked to it should not be accessible to the parties in the proceedings.

The Leire case investigates alleged coercion of investigators of court cases related to PSOE or people close to the party. Judge Santiago Pedraz is responsible for supervising this investigation at the National Court.

With this request, PSOE aims to limit the exposure of its financial data, ensuring that only information that is strictly relevant to the facts being investigated is used in the investigation.

Jair Renan Asks for Votes for Esperidião Amin and Carlos Bolsonaro, but Leaves Michelle's Ally in SC Out of the Campaign Flyer

The campaign material attributed to Jair Renan Bolsonaro (PL-SC) asks for votes for Carlos Bolsonaro and Esperidião Amin for Senate, but excludes federal deputy Caroline de Toni, Michelle Bolsonaro's ally on the same ticket. The flyer also supports Jair Renan for federal deputy, Flavinho for president, Jorginho Mello for governor, and Camilo Martins for state deputy. Toni's exclusion occurs amid tensions in the Bolsonaro coalition in Santa Catarina, as Amin was passed over by Jorginho earlier this year to accommodate the ex-president's son.
