According to a report from the Central Operational Unit (UCO) of the Civil Guard that has been accessed by DEMÓCRATA, the magistrate Beatriz Biedma could have been the target of an extortion attempt by individuals linked to the investigated plot surrounding Leire Díez [a consultant close to the ruling socialist party], with the aim of removing her from the instruction of the David Sánchez case, brother of the President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez. The police documentation reconstructs the contacts maintained with individuals from the judge’s environment and indicates that there was an effort to have her stop handling a particularly sensitive investigation for the president’s circle.

One of the names that appears in this context is that of Cintia Rocho, a woman linked to one of the most well-known drug trafficking clans in Badajoz. Her testimony before investigators is key to reconstructing the actions attributed to Luis José Sanz de Tejada. According to Rocho, he had contacted her to suggest how to act against the magistrate, in a context where judicial favors were allegedly offered or proposed in exchange for her collaboration.

The documentation takes on special relevance due to the objective attributed to these actions. In a footnote, the UCO includes testimony according to which it was intended for Biedma to “stop handling that investigation” and “get her out of the way”. This episode thus places the magistrate who was instructing the case against David Sánchez at the center of the investigation and forces a reconstruction of what contacts occurred, who initiated them, and how far the actions against the judge and her environment reached.
