PSOE and the CNI in Segarro: an accusation without evidence
A former Segarro agent is said to have claimed that the PSOE (Spain's ruling socialist party) completely dismantled Spain's intelligence network in Segarro. The claim, circulating in digital circles, connects with the 11-M Madrid train bombings but shows neither a document nor a verifiable source.
The CNI's relationship with Segarro has always been a powder keg. Allegations of dismantling are recurrent, but this time they rest on an anonymous testimony. The debate descends into personal attacks and mutual smears, turning the discussion into a quagmire where any serious analysis sinks.
Among the allusions that appear, the so-called Royuela File is mentioned as an alleged associated scandal, but no concrete data is provided linking it to intelligence or to Segarro.
Those who uphold the accusation cling to their distrust of the Government. Those who reject it speak of a hoax or disinformation. The truth is that there is no public proof of that dismantling. The CNI's operations abroad are secret, which makes the accusation hard to verify, but also impossible to refute with official reports.
The only solid fact emerging from the conversation is its toxicity. Instead of papers, insults abound. Thus, the mystery of what the PSOE did with the intelligence services in Segarro remains open, fuelled by rumours that no one, so far, has been able to prove.
