The UCO sent its report on 6 October to the Tribunal Central de Instancia, Plaza n.º 5, for proceedings led by judge Santiago Pedraz. It names former judge Luis José Sáenz de Tejada Vallejo in an alleged campaign against magistrate Beatriz Biedma Rojano.
Investigators say the group under investigation in the Leire Díez case used Sáenz de Tejada to influence proceedings involving David Sánchez Pérez-Castejón. The report also lists 99 YouTube videos mentioning Biedma or the case.
The report offers no final assessment. Investigators describe it as a record of findings and working hypotheses, rather than a definitive judicial conclusion.
On 27 November 2024, the same day Biedma brought David Sánchez into the investigation, Sáenz de Tejada reportedly filed a second complaint against the magistrate.
Witness Cynthia Rocho made the most serious new allegation. El País and Europa Press reported that she told the UCO Sáenz de Tejada had spoken about the need to “eliminate” Biedma. Investigators are checking whether those words pointed to an intention to cause physical harm. Rocho's account remains a witness's recollection and does not, by itself, show that an attack was planned.
The alleged activity centres on the Badajoz proceedings involving David Sánchez, the brother of Spain's prime minister. Investigators see Sáenz de Tejada as a possible intermediary who tried to influence the case. Reports based on UCO materials also say he had contact with members of the Rocho clan in Badajoz. El País has reported that the materials describe hostile public messaging and possible efforts to affect the handling of the David Sánchez proceedings. These alleged connections and actions remain under investigation; no finding of guilt has been made against the people mentioned.
A separate set of UCO materials identifies 99 YouTube videos mentioning Biedma or the investigation into David Sánchez. El Independiente reported that the videos show the scale of public attacks and discussion around the case. On their own, they do not prove that a coordinated operation produced them.
Biedma has been admitted to the Leire Díez proceedings as a private prosecutor. That status lets her take part in the investigation into alleged actions directed against her. El Debate reported that it gives the magistrate a formal role in examining evidence about the campaign and any possible threat to her safety.
Authorities are also examining whether reported contacts and public attacks amount to an intimidation campaign, while assessing testimony about “eliminating” the judge. The UCO report is material for Judge Santiago Pedraz, not a final finding. The court is still assessing the evidence, and definitive charges have not been confirmed against every person mentioned.
