  • Leire Díez, a former PSOE militant, is challenging a National Court investigation into an alleged "plot to destabilize" judicial cases.
  • Her defense argues she faces two "parallel" and "identical" proceedings concerning the same events.
  • The legal challenge aims to annul the ongoing investigation.

Leire Díez, a former militant of the Spanish Socialist Workers' Party (PSOE), is seeking to have a National Court investigation into an alleged plot to destabilize judicial cases annulled. Her defense team argues that she is being subjected to two separate, yet identical, legal processes based on the same set of facts.

The core of Díez's legal challenge lies in the assertion that the two investigations are duplicative and violate her rights. The defense contends that the National Court has initiated parallel proceedings that essentially cover the same alleged misconduct, creating an unfair and redundant legal burden.

By attempting to nullify the investigation, Díez and her legal representatives aim to prevent further proceedings and assert that the current approach constitutes an abuse of process. The outcome of this challenge could significantly impact the direction and validity of the National Court's inquiry into the alleged destabilization plot.
