Judge Pedraz orders PSOE to submit lawyer contracts within two days
National Court judge Santiago Pedraz has again asked the PSOE for a list of lawyers it hired for the Leire case, setting a two-day deadline.
Judge Santiago Pedraz of Spain's Audiencia Nacional has issued a fresh demand for the Spanish Socialist Workers' Party (PSOE) to provide a detailed list of lawyers it engaged in the Leire case. The magistrate pointed out that the party had already been asked for this information and, given the time elapsed, has set a strict two-day deadline for the submission. Pedraz emphasized the importance of the documents for the ongoing investigation.
The PSOE, which often stresses its willingness to work with judicial authorities, must now respond quickly to avoid possible sanctions. The request forms part of a broader probe into the handling of the case. No further action has been reported as of now.
