• Device.Interior subtracted Bárcenas from his agenda and payment notes in 'B'
  • Investigation.Interior erased the traces of the robbery of Luis Bárcenas in the 'Kitchen operation' with reserved funds

The National Court analyzes the content of the laptop purchased by the National Police from former Interior number two with the Government of the Popular Party Francisco Martínez to secretly consult the mobile phones stolen from Luis Bárcenas.

The magistrate Manuel García-Castellón , who instructs the so - called Operation Kitchen - the para-police operation set up to take away from the former treasurer sensitive information against the dome of the PP - has located the computer device at the General Information Commission of the National Police and police technicians are Now examining your files.

This computer was purchased for 1,000 euros with the reserve of reserved funds and was delivered in his office to the former secretary of state so that he had access to the dump of several mobile terminals that had previously been stolen from Bárcenas and in which he guarded his messages with former President of the Government Mariano Rajoy and other senior officials of the party.

The objective of the acquisition of the Mac Book Pro , as commissioner Enrique García Castaño , former head of the Central Operational Support Unit (UCAO) of the Police confessed to the judge, was that Interior number two with Jorge Fernández Díaz had access to the information stolen from Barcenas in full war against the party for its irregular financing without leaving a mark on the Ministry's computer equipment.

During the last months, the Court of Instruction Number 6 of the National Court, the Anti-Corruption Prosecutor and the Police have carried out investigations to certify the truthfulness of the testimony of García Castaño, known as El Gordo and also charged for having participated in the operation Kitchen .

Research sources indicate that research has advanced in a good direction. An annotation has been found along with a provision of reserved funds that reads: "SES computer equipment (Secretary of State for Interior)", which responds to the purchase of the laptop.

At the same time, the account of the former police high command has been checked, which detailed how the driver of Bárcenas provided the ex-treasurer's phones in a Madrid cafeteria, the VIPS located on Ortega y Gasset street. According to his testimony, the dump was carried out there using a police software program. The driver, Sergio Ríos , who was paid with a salary of 2,000 euros per month of reserved funds, took the phones back so that the Bárcenas family did not suspect.

That clandestine appointment has already been corroborated by the two policemen who transferred the information. They have been interrogated as witnesses at the police headquarters and have confirmed the facts, while ensuring they are unaware of the content of the material they cloned.

The computer was purchased to leave no trace in the Interior files

In parallel, García Castaño has delivered to the Audience a copy of the contents of the telephones to prove that the subtraction occurred. In it, are the famous messages exchanged by Rajoy with his treasurer in which he showed his support - "Luis, be strong" - after discovering his fortune in Switzerland .

As this newspaper has learned from research sources, the laptop is being analyzed to check its content and if, in addition to Bárcenas material, it came to house other information that did not pass through the official channels.

Sources close to that police operation require EL MUNDO that a search engine was installed on the laptop to facilitate access to telephone information. They also add that information on other police operations was regularly dumped on that device, specifically those linked to the Catalan independence challenge.

Performance of the Mossos

Fundamentally, research related to the performance of the Mossos d'Esquadra was incorporated into the laptop. In that temporary period, and as has emerged in the documentation of reserved funds sent by Interior, payments were made with public money to confidants in the Catalan autonomous police.

One of the issues that was channeled through the computer was the information collected by the Police on the follow-up of former Interior Minister Fernández Díaz in the surroundings of his home in Barcelona. Police detected a van linked to the regional police following the former minister when he took his dog for a walk. As Interior suspected, it was intended to intercept its communications.

In such a way, that in the computer information from different sensitive operations that the Interior dome wanted to know with the greatest discretion intermingled.

Martínez, who is on the verge of imputation, has denied at all times the story of Commissioner García Castaño. He maintains that he never delivered the aforementioned laptop to his office, that he never consulted the stolen phones from Bárcenas, and that he never ordered that the former treasurer be stolen material. The former Interior dome only admits to having knowledge of an operation to investigate whether Barcenas hid more money abroad through non-Justice stampeders.

With the elements that are known, the researchers consider the citation as Martínez's investigation inevitable, although they study the appropriate procedural moment.

To the theft of mobiles is the confession, also made by García Castaño, that the Police entered without a warrant in a property of the Bárcenas family located in which the wife of the former treasurer had his workshop to restore works of art. In this study, which the police referred to in code as "the zulo", Bárcenas hid his sensitive documentation.
