The head of the Central Court of Instruction Number 6 of the National Court has opened a new separate piece to investigate the orders that the commissioner linked to the sewers of the State, José Manuel Villarejo , received from the San José construction group , according to legal sources THE WORLD.

Judge Manuel García Castellón , instructor of the Tandem operation, has requested documentation from the entity about the alleged espionage that was entrusted to the agent in the framework of this new separate piece - number 16 - within the procedure. To questions of this means, the San José group has declined to offer explanations about its contractual relationship with the controversial agent.

The Villarejo case holds 25 pieces where, among others, the work of the preventive prisoner for large companies of the Ibex 35 such as BBVA, La Caixa, Repsol or Iberdrola is investigated . The espionage to which the former treasurer of the Popular Party Luis Bárcenas was subjected in the middle of the war was also under investigation with the formation of irregular financing or the possible fabrication of evidence against the leader of Podemos, Pablo Iglesias .

All these separate pieces were opened as a result of analyzing the documentation that was seized in the records of the homes of Commissioner José Manuel Villarejo in November 2017. The last lines of investigation, opened at the end of 2019, are in the embryonic phase but Judge García Castellón proceeded to open them to avoid the prescription of possible crimes.

As this media reported, due to the large workload of the Central Court of Instruction Number 6, the General Council of the Judiciary has approved that Judge Joaquín Gadea , Judge of Territorial Assignment (JAD) assigned to the Superior Court of Justice of Catalonia, be support judge of García Castellón.

In addition, the instructor of the National Court will keep Judge Alejandro Abascal as a judge of reinforcement. Together with the Villarejo case, the Punic plot, the Lezo case , the Acuamed case or the investigation of the members of the CoR are investigated in their court.
