MADRID, 27 Oct. (EUROPA PRESS) –

Podemos has asked the National Court (AN) that former Interior Minister Jorge Fernández Díaz be sentenced to 41 years in prison for ‘Operation Kitchen’, as well as that former Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy, his former ‘number two’ Soraya Sáenz de Santamaría and the former general secretary of the PP María Dolores de Cospedal testify in the future trial for the alleged vigilante device put in place to spy on and steal compromising information from the former ‘popular’ treasurer Luis Bárcenas.

The popular accusation exercised by the ‘purple’ formation has presented this Thursday its brief with provisional conclusions urging the AN to open an oral trial against the 11 prosecuted by the ‘Kitchen’: Fernández Díaz; his former Secretary of State Francisco Martínez; former policemen José Manuel Villarejo, Eugenio Pino, Marcelino Martín Blas, Enrique García Castaño, Andrés Gómez Gordo, José Luis Olivera, José Ángel Fuentes Gago, Bonifacio Díez Sevillano; and the former driver of the Bárcenas, Sergio Ríos.

In his brief, to which Europa Press has had access, Podemos is interested in sentences of 41 years in prison for Fernández Díaz, whom the judicial investigation placed as the alleged ‘brain’, and Martínez; and between 41 and 39 years in prison for police officers and former agents for crimes of criminal organization and embezzlement, among others.

Likewise, the political party demands that Rajoy, Sáez de Santamaría and Cospedal testify as witnesses in the trial.
