MADRID, 26 Oct. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The Madrid Prosecutor’s Office has shown its opposition to the request of the former President of the Government Mariano Rajoy to paralyze in a precautionary manner the rogatory commission that Andorra issued with the intention of questioning him as a result of the complaint filed in the Principality for the ‘Catalonia operation’.
The Public Ministry has reported this Wednesday that it has already sent a letter to the Superior Court of Justice (TSJ) of Madrid in which it has communicated its opposition to precautionary suspension of the judicial aid claimed by Andorra.
The Prosecutor’s Office has ruled after this week the Madrid TSJ agreed to grant the very precautionary measure requested by Rajoy and transferred it to the State Attorney’s Office and the Public Prosecutor’s Office so that they could report before Thursday. After this period, the precautionary measure will be resolved.
As specified by the Prosecutor’s Office, Rajoy’s argument that his fundamental rights have been violated, what he “really” covers up is a trial on the actions of the Investigating Court Number 32 of Madrid and the Provincial Court.
The defense of the former leader of the PP alleged that he had seen his rights violated because the court, when processing the aforementioned request, did not carry out the “prior control of legality in accordance with national and conventional legislation on international cooperation.”
Although the Provincial Court of Madrid agreed with him in considering that said court should have upheld his appeals against the Andorran rogatory commission, it specified that it could not admit his appeals because the judge had already acted and given a response to the Principality. Thus, he endorsed the judicial assistance provided to the Andorran authorities.
