The recent controversy surrounding Leire Díez, a former PSOE militant, has led to a exchange of statements between the party's leadership, the Government, and the Civil Guard's UCO. Following initial reports, former PSOE Organization Secretary Santos Cerdán presented himself as a victim, suggesting the UCO might be targeting individuals. Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez stated he had not been informed of Díez's activities, asserting he would not have tolerated them.

However, official explanations have been challenged as new details emerge. Initially described as a mere former militant, it has been revealed that Díez was placed in several public companies, frequently met with Cerdán at Ferraz, and received nearly 50,000 euros from the party. Furthermore, meetings with Antonio Hernando, former second-in-command to Sánchez's chief of staff, and with the Director General of the Civil Guard, Mercedes González, are reported.

These facts, previously denied by the party, have been corroborated by UCO reports and Judge Pedraz's investigation. A UCO report, based on messages intercepted from Díez, suggests that Sánchez might have been aware of the individual's activities, contradicting the Prime Minister's statements. The unfolding of the case keeps anticipation high as to whether current denials will be disproven over time, mirroring past scandals.
