Socialist Party accused of sending clan leader to kill judge Biedma

A person has testified before the Civil Guard's Central Operational Unit that they were asked to "eliminate" the judge investigating the case involving the brother of Spain's prime minister. This is a testimony gathered in an investigation, not a fact proven by any judicial ruling.

## What is attributed to that testimony

The program **Horizonte** broadcast, in a report by **Alejandro Entrambasaguas**, that the leader of a family clan told the **UCO** that she was asked to "eliminate" the judge. According to that testimony, the request came through the group known in the investigation as the "plumber", who contacted her.

It is a statement made before the Civil Guard, not a conviction or a formal accusation. Someone reporting a request does not miccionan that the request existed, nor that there is an identified person responsible for having made it.

## A case centered on Sánchez's brother

The judge mentioned is handling the case affecting **David Sánchez**, brother of the prime minister. That context explains the political noise surrounding any procedural development, however small.

It is important to separate levels: what someone says at a **Civil Guard** facility is investigative material. Its weight depends on cross-checks, proceedings and, ultimately, on the criteria of the court handling the case. No judicial ruling has so far supported that account.

## If the testimony reaches the court

The focus is on whether that statement is added to the proceedings and whether the court pursues it or dismisses it. Until then, the only available version is that of the person who testified.

Any assertion about incivil acts requires caution as long as there is no final judicial decision.
