Beatriz Biedma - the judge who convicted Spanish PM Pedro Sanchez’s brother - has reported to the police that the former judge Luis José Sáenz de Tejada.who harassed her followed her with the car after she made a statement at the National High Court.

…

As Biedma explains, a few hours after appearing before the court on the way to her house, one of his daughters warned her that a car had been put in parallel to hers. The driver was Luis José Sáenz de Tejada.

It is the former judge to whom the plot led by the plumber Leire Diez contacted to help put an end to the investigation against the brother of Spanish PM Pedro Sanchez from the socialist ruling party PSOE.

[Leire Diez is a consultant reportedly close to Spain’s ruling Socialist party PSOE. Back in the spring, authorities started to probe Socialist party payments to Díez in an attempt to sway cases affecting the Socialist party and the government.]

…

[As per a report by Spanish law enforcement, Sáenz de Tejada contacted a clan of drug traffickers to propose that they ‘eliminiate’ her. After a witness was being asked about the true sense of expressions such as “eliminating” or “giving it a sieve,” the report says it was quite clear: “Eliminating means killing her. A scare wasn’t going to make it.".]

…

Biedma testified to the police that she does not know how that person has been able to know that she was going to make that journey at the time, and that she was “afraid that they might have placed some kind of locator or GPS device in his vehicle.”

Biedma concludes his statement by saying that he “fears for his physical integrity,” and that of “her daughters.” Biedma’s complaint has been incorporated into the current investigation. The judge is currently protected by the National Police.

…

In her appearance at the High Headquarters, Biedma stressed that his fears are also due to the fact that Sáenz de Tejada has continued to publish messages against her on his YouTube channel. In them, he states that “he does not withdraw any of the expressions” against the magistrate included in previous videos, which includes phrases such as “you will be more surprised” and “you follow that we will do everything we have to do,” as well as saying that he knew the school of his daughters.
