The mayor of Madrid,
José Luis Martínez-Almeida
, has confirmed said investigation, but denies the hiring of a detective agency: "There has been no order from the

The national leadership of the
PP
asked the president
Isabel Díaz Ayuso
for explanations about the alleged commissions that her
brother Tomás Ayuso
would have charged from health contracts of the
Community of Madrid
, but did not go to the Prosecutor's Office or the Justice as they had no evidence of the irregularities .
This is what sources from the party's national leadership point out to Efe, indicating that if they had had this evidence they would have had to transfer the case to the Prosecutor's Office.
After learning about the suspicions,
Pablo Casado
's management asked
Ayuso
for explanations at a meeting held in October last year and also asked for documentation to rule out any type of irregularities.
Documentation that, the sources add, still to this day
Ayuso
has not sent to the national headquarters of the
PP
, in the Madrid street of Génova.

Cifuentes criticizes the alleged espionage on Ayuso's brother as "crazy and harmful" for the PP: only Sánchez wins
The former president of the
Community of Madrid
Cristina Cifuentes
has pointed out this Thursday that the alleged espionage on
Isabel Díaz Ayuso's brother
is something "tremendously crazy" and "harmful" for the national leadership of
the Popular Party
as a whole and for the leader herself Madrid.
In statements to Cope, collected by Europa Press,
Cifuentes
has assured that this controversy only benefits the Prime Minister,
Pedro Sánchez
.
"He will spend all day playing the castanets in Moncloa at a time when the
PSOE
has just been defeated without palliatives in
Castilla y León
", he added.
He lamented that in the next few days there will only be talk of supposed
espionage
, something that, in his opinion, is "tremendous" because "this makes the possibility of an alternative political change that many thousands of Spaniards want much further away."

espionage
with funds from the
Municipal Housing and Land Company
(

Ciudadanos
has been left "on the sidelines".

"I think this has been done very badly. 'Genoa' and the
PP
have to set a limit", he stressed.
He considers that "the
PP
considers the investigation closed because it has been ahead for two months" and "has been investigating these facts."
"At first I trust the mayor's word but I want to check what has happened, because this does not help confidence", he has riveted in a row.
