Judge Beatriz Biedma joins 'Leire Díez' case as private prosecutor

Judge Beatriz Biedma has requested to join the 'Leire Díez' case as a private prosecutor before the Audiencia Nacional. Biedma, who previously investigated the irregular hiring of David Sánchez—the brother of Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez—claims she was the target of organized efforts to discredit her professionally and personally.

Biedma alleges that these maneuvers were designed to obstruct the judicial proceedings she was overseeing in Badajoz. Her legal team asserts that the actions included gathering information on her personal life and family, promoting complaints against her, and attempting to erode her professional credibility. The judge has identified several potential crimes, including obstruction of justice, threats, and criminal organization.

Furthermore, Biedma’s representatives have requested an investigation into alleged contacts between the group under investigation and individuals linked to drug trafficking, suggesting these actions may have compromised her security. The Civil Guard's Central Operating Unit (UCO) has previously noted in reports that targeting the magistrate was a specific line of action within the organization being investigated.
