The Spanish Prosecutor's Office has closed the investigation into a pendrive delivered by former PSOE member Leire Díez, finding no criminal relevance in its contents.
The Spanish Prosecutor's Office has concluded its investigation into a pendrive given to the Socialist Party (PSOE) by Leire Díez, an ex-member of the party who had previously been involved in controversy. The pendrive contained information that was presented as potentially significant for the PSOE, leading them to refer the material to the General Prosecutor's Office for further analysis. After a thorough review, the Prosecutor's Office found no evidence that warranted any legal action, prompting them to archive the investigation altogether.
Leire Díez handed over the pendrive on June 3, 2025, shortly before she resigned from the party, to Santos Cerdán, who was the Secretary of Organisation for the PSOE at that time. This act was seen as part of a larger narrative regarding internal party conflicts and the scrutiny surrounding party members. The contents of the pendrive were analyzed by the Central Operational Unit (UCO) of the Civil Guard, but the lack of any findings with penal significance has brought this chapter of inquiry to a close.
Moving forward, the decision to close the investigation could have implications for the PSOE, a party that has faced various challenges related to internal governance and reform. While the investigation may have raised questions at the time, the lack of further developments or potential charges should allow the PSOE to focus on other pressing matters within their political agenda, potentially mitigating some of the controversy surrounding this incident.
