Civil Guard Director Cut Ties With Leire Díez Over Commander's Reinstatement in 'Koldo Case'

Mercedes González, the director of Spain's Civil Guard, has revealed that she terminated her relationship with Leire Díez after Díez allegedly asked her to reinstate a commander implicated in the 'Koldo case.' González stated that she met with Díez on two occasions, asserting that no discussions about ongoing investigations into the PSOE party took place during these meetings.

González maintains that the relationship ended specifically when Díez introduced her theory of a conspiracy. The 'Koldo case' refers to a political scandal involving alleged corruption in government contracts, which has drawn significant attention in Spain.

This revelation sheds light on the alleged pressures and entanglements that may arise in high-profile investigations, suggesting attempts to influence official proceedings through personal connections.
