Judge Beatriz Biedma reports pursuit by former magistrate Luis Sáenz de Tejada

Judge Beatriz Biedma has filed a police report alleging she was pursued by former magistrate Luis Sáenz de Tejada in a car on October 8. The incident occurred shortly after Biedma testified as an injured party in the Leire Díez case. Biedma reported that a white vehicle drove parallel to her car while she was traveling with her daughters, leading her to express concerns that a GPS tracking device might have been placed on her vehicle.

Judge Santiago Pedraz has imputed Sáenz de Tejada for alleged crimes including criminal organization, slander, and crimes against moral integrity. The investigation is part of a broader inquiry into a suspected plot to discredit or remove Biedma through political and media maneuvers. The Ministry of the Interior has provided police protection to the judge following her reports of threats.

Sáenz de Tejada has denied the allegations, asserting he was 400 kilometers away from Badajoz with his family at the time of the reported pursuit. Additionally, judicial records suggest that efforts were made to target other members of the judiciary, including Judge Marta Hernández, by sharing personal information with criminal groups to exert pressure.
