The National Court reopens the Dina case and orders the judge to request information from the Police

New twist in the Dina case. The Third Section of the Criminal Chamber of the National High Court has revoked the final point of the investigation that Judge Manuel García Castellón launched last January, has ordered him to extend the investigation for two months and to carry out one more procedure: ask in the Deputy Directorate of Operations of the National Police, if there is any information in its records, Commissioner José Manuel Villarejo reports data extracted from the telephone of Dina Bousselham, who was once an adviser to Pablo Iglesias. This is a relevant decision that has to do with the appeals presented in March by Iglesias himself and two journalists from the former Interviú who are being investigated in this piece for revealing secrets. I was informed that the former Operational Deputy Director of the National Police, Eugenio Pino, declared in court that he did not personally receive any report from Villarejo that he had prepared with data from Bousselham's cell phone. He did not rule out, however, that any other DAO official had done so, in which case, he said, the information would be in the police investigation database. Both the journalists, who have been insisting that they gave a copy of the information to Villarejo because he used his status as a police officer, and Iglesias, who finds in this case the hand of the "sewers of the State", wanted to ask for a line followed by the judge ask yourself in the CAD. The problem is that three months earlier, Manuel García Castellón had put an end to the deadline to investigate this separate piece. The order, from January, said that only two more procedures were going to be carried out: Pino's statement and Bousselham's appearance in case he pardoned Iglesias. Related News standard Yes The judge in the Villarejo case denounces Pablo Iglesias' former adviser Jorge Navas García Castellón for false testimony and appreciates indexes of falsity in Dina Bouselham's statements about the theft of her mobile card That is the decision that the Court will now revoke the Criminal because he hears that if the object of the piece is to find out why Villarejo had materials from Dina Bousselham that also ended up being published in press, and what he did with them, the reasonable thing is to follow the script. The journalists said that they had given it to him because he was a police officer. The commissioner said that he asked for them because there were ongoing police investigations and that he transferred it to his bosses. And your boss said questions in the department. "The relevance is evident" "The process of submitting the request for information to the Deputy Directorate of Operations of the Police on the existence of official letters or informative notes related to the objective of Ms. Bousselham or its content, sent to said body by Mr. Villarejo. This is personal data, which may have been the object of criminal conduct of interference or disclosure, the objective and subjective scope of which could contribute to clarifying the requested diligence”, says the court. Iglesias asked in passing to investigate all the investigations into Podemos that the Police of that time had in their hands. This is 2016, the year of the reviled Pisa reports and the investigations into alleged illegal financing, but the Chamber questioned whether "there is the appropriate procedural venue" to settle this matter. “If there is any connection between these possible investigations and the facts regarding Ms. Bousselham, must be sufficient to verify the diligence whose relevance has been assessed”, he adds. Thus, the judge orders the extension of the investigation for two months, "a reasonable period for the information to be provided by the Deputy Directorate of Operations."
