Spain’s Supreme Court became the stage for an emotional speech by Alberto González Amador, an entrepreneur and partner of Isabel Díaz Ayuso. During the hearing, he described himself as a victim of the prosecutor’s actions, claiming that his personal and professional reputation had been destroyed after information about his case was leaked.
González Amador found himself in the spotlight after the media reported his confession to tax offenses. He said he wanted the investigation to conclude quickly and quietly to avoid hurting the reputation of his partner, who holds a high government position. However, the situation spiraled out of control when details of his case went public, and his name was drawn into a major scandal.
During the court session, the businessman stressed that the publication of an email, in which his lawyer discussed the possibility of a plea deal with the prosecutor, was a devastating blow. He maintains that, since then, people have seen him solely as guilty, while pressure from the public and politicians has only intensified. González Amador didn’t hide his despair, admitting he sees no way out of the current situation.
A double drama: two trials and a political subtext
The legal proceedings have taken on a dual nature: on one side sits the Attorney General in the dock, and on the other — Gonzalez Amador himself, accused of financial misconduct. Both cases have become closely intertwined, as any potential violation of the defendant’s rights could impact the outcome of both trials.
During the hearings, it emerged that details of the agreement between the defense and the prosecution had already appeared in a leading publication even before the release of the scandalous letter. Gonzalez Amador admitted discussing the investigation’s progress with journalists but insisted he did not disclose details about plea negotiations. Nevertheless, the media reported possible punishments and fines, fueling even more public interest in the case.
Internal conflicts and unexpected admissions
The entrepreneur’s lawyer confirmed that he had discussed the terms of a potential deal with the prosecution, which involved admitting guilt in exchange for a minimal sentence. However, after the information became public, Gonzalez Amador abandoned the idea, fearing further consequences for himself and his family.
The trial also revealed that part of the correspondence between the lawyer and prosecutors had been shared with third parties without the attorney’s consent. This raised fresh questions about professional ethics and confidentiality throughout the case.
Consequences for all parties involved
The scandal surrounding the information leak and accusations against the prosecutor’s office has sparked widespread public outcry. González Amador insists he is a victim of political infighting and that his personal tragedy is just part of a broader power struggle between different branches of government. The trial is ongoing, and its outcome could impact not only the fate of the businessman himself but also the reputations of several high-ranking officials.
