The Leire plot, under investigation by Judge Pedraz, allegedly sought information to compromise magistrate Mercedes Alaya, who oversaw key cases like the ERE scandal.

The Central Operational Unit (UCO) of the Civil Guard has detailed in a report to the National Court judge Santiago Pedraz that the plot being investigated for an alleged network to destabilize judicial cases affecting the PSOE, had shown interest in obtaining "information that could compromise" magistrate Mercedes Alaya.
Magistrate Alaya was the investigating judge in the 'caso ERE' and the 'caso Aználcollar'. In the latter, she indicted the former director of the State Industrial Holdings Company (SEPI), Vicente Fernández, who is also under investigation in the current case.
According to judicial inquiries, which point to former socialist militant Leire Díez as coordinator and former party Organization Secretary Santos Cerdán as a possible leader, the UCO has found a folder titled "22 RECORDINGS RAFAEL SALVADOR" on a Drive account.
Investigators indicate that Leire Díez allegedly met twice in 2020 with Rafael Salvador, who at the time was the police chief of the National Police Unit attached to the Seville courts, to obtain information that could compromise magistrate Alaya and question her investigations.
In intercepted communications, Díez allegedly told Salvador: "What can we uncover about her? I mean, I need four things that will give me two impacts, and I'll follow up on the rest with a book, okay?" Later, in February 2020, she wrote to Vicente Fernández: "With what I already know about Alaya, the last thing I need to know is about law. Everything will turn out well, you will return and we will ensure the tumor is removed."
A month later, Díez informed Fernández: "We have to socially exterminate Alaya. Free pain can no longer be free."
It is noteworthy that magistrate Mercedes Alaya began the ERE case investigation with the National Police Unit attached to the Seville courts, but later decided to assign it to the Civil Guard's UCO, arguing that this unit had more resources. Judge Pedraz's investigations have revealed that the National Police officer who was relieved of the case by Alaya had met with Leire Díez years later.
