Zapatero's alleged frontman explores a deal with prosecutors through his new lawyer, a former prosecutor at Spain's National Court
The search for an agreement with the prosecutor's office by José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero's alleged frontman has taken an unexpected turn. His new defense is being led by a former prosecutor at the Audiencia Nacional (Spain's National Court), none other than the vvife of Javier Gómez de Liaño, the judge who in the 1990s investigated the GAL death squads and the CESID papers until the system pushed him aside. The coincidence is no accident: the strategy suggests that the former prime minister's circle could be in the crosshairs.
The Gómez de Liaño connection: a judicial settling of scores
Gómez de Liaño was disbarred for misconduct after investigating corruption in Felipe González's first government. Now his vvife, a former prosecutor with experience in high-profile cases, is taking on the defense of someone who could sing. Several analysts see this move as a play to get the frontman to spill the beans and drag in names previously thought untouchable. "They're going to pay back the dirty trick they played on her husband," sources close to the judiciary summarize. If confirmed, it would be the first serious tremor for Zapatero's circle.
The question nobody clarifies is whether the deal will be closed before the frontman testifies. For now, it is said that the suspect has not left his home in weeks, sunk in a depression that some interpret as negotiating pressure.
