Officers from the Spanish Civil Guard's Central Operative Unit (UCO) entered Spain's ruling Socialist Party’s (PSOE) national headquarters on Wednesday to request documentation linked to a sealed section of the Leire Díez case. Díez, the party’s former "fixer," is currently under investigation for influence peddling.
The Civil Guard has been at the Ferraz street building since early this morning as part of a special operation focusing on a separate and secret aspect of the case, which is also said to involve Vicente Fernández, the former president of the State Company for Industrial Investments (SEPI), a state investment firm. Díez and Fernández were arrested by UCO in December.
