A Civil Guard chief has reported that the former director of the force pressured to expedite a report on David Sánchez, the president's brother. The goal was to quickly conclude that no crime had been committed. This is not an anonymous leak, but a formal complaint with a name and surname.

How case management systems can prevent external interference 🛡️
In a digital environment, case management systems should record every action with timestamps and user IDs. A report commissioned by favoritism or a call to speed up deadlines would be reflected in the logs. Traceability is key: knowing who ordered what and when. However, if the system allows records to be deleted or modified without control, technology is useless. Transparency is not just a value, it is a design requirement.
