Former Socialist spokesman Diego L贸pez Garrido, who served as Secretary of State for the EU under Zapatero, has acknowledged his concern after reading the indictment order of the former president in the Plus Ultra case. Garrido, in the corridors of Congress, was laconic about the order from Judge Calama, which charges Zapatero with influence peddling and other crimes. The shadow of corruption once again looms over the PSOE.
Judicial technology in the face of influence peddling: digital forensic analysis 馃攳
In cases like Plus Ultra, the investigation relies on the analysis of communications and financial records. Big data tools allow cross-referencing calls, emails, and bank movements to trace potential influence networks. However, the digital chain of custody and the authenticity of evidence are critical points. Computer forensics experts must certify that no tampering occurred, a technical process that can prolong judicial timelines and complicate the indictment.
Garrido, the fortune teller of bad feelings 馃槒
L贸pez Garrido has demonstrated a gift for political clairvoyance: reading a judicial order and feeling bad vibes. Almost as useful as an antivirus that detects a virus after the computer explodes. Meanwhile, Zapatero must be wondering if his next step will be to imitate the Plus Ultra pilots and ask for a bailout, but this time not from the State, but from a good criminal defense lawyer.
