Judge Beatriz Biedma joins 'Leire Díez' case to denounce discredit campaign
Judge Beatriz Biedma, who investigated the hiring of David Sánchez in Badajoz, has requested to join the 'Leire Díez' case as a private prosecutor. She alleges that she was the target of a campaign intended to discredit her professionally and personally, as well as to obstruct her judicial proceedings. Biedma claims there were efforts to gather information about her and her surroundings, and her legal team is seeking to investigate alleged contacts with individuals linked to drug trafficking that may have compromised her security.
In a related development, Judge Santiago Pedraz of the Audiencia Nacional has decided to retain the mobile phone of Juan Manuel Serrano, a former official in the PSOE, as material evidence. Pedraz reversed a previous decision to return the device, citing its potential relevance in investigating influence trafficking within a criminal organization.
Separately, the Provincial Council of Badajoz announced it will not seek the reimbursement of 427,000 euros previously paid to David Sánchez and Luis Carrero. The council stated that, following reports from the Court of Auditors, it considers the matter closed at this procedural stage, noting that the sentence has not yet been formally notified and remains subject to appeal.
