The Supreme Court Prosecutor’s Office has filed the complaint filed by Ciudadanos against Rufián for an alleged revelation of secrets. The orange formation hopes that it will be the Congress that sanctions the ERC deputy or else it will appeal to the Constitutional Court.
Ciudadanos had denounced Rufián accusing him of revealing reserved information that the then director of the National Intelligence Center (CNI), Paz Esteban, had shown behind closed doors to the members of the Reserved Expenses Commission.
But the Prosecutor’s Office of the Supreme Court has ordered the file of the complaint of citizens and another of Clean Hands. As he explains, Rufián’s statements after the commission cannot be considered a crime of revealing secrets, in any case an administrative offense, and that is no longer the responsibility of the High Court.
However, the prosecutor now considers that Rufián’s statements, in any case, could only constitute an administrative infraction and, in no case, a crime.
In a message posted on his Twitter account, Edmundo Bal claims not to share the file decreed by the Prosecutor’s Office, since he still thinks it is a crime. Now, with the criminal procedure closed, Ciudadanos now points to the Congressional Bureau to open a file and sanction it as an administrative infraction.
“Without criminal proceedings, Batet has no excuses to suspend his salary and vote. If the Table does not act, we will go to the TC », clinches the ‘number two’ of Citizens in the message collected by Europa Press.
The Table of Congress already examined this case in a meeting held a few days after the appearance of the director of the CNI, but the PSOE and United We Can, which have a majority, rejected a first letter from Citizens, supported by Vox, to open a file to the ERC spokesperson.
