As El Confidencial Digital has learned , the PP of Catalonia has contacted at least two more restaurants , frequented by its leaders, to check if they have been spied on. The request to the establishments occurred in parallel to the technical inspection carried out in a premises very close to the party headquarters in Barcelona, in which two recording cameras and a microphone were detected , as reported on these pages. One of the two new restaurants that were asked for permission to search for espionage tools accepted the PP's request and, after the expert opinion, it was found that no 'popular' leader had been spied on there. However, the other establishment that the 'populares' contacted refused to allow a group of experts to carry out a search for cameras and microphones in its facilities. 'Psychosis' among PP leaders The refusal of this restaurant, where PP leaders regularly went, and the police investigations that point to a large espionage plot that would involve the installation of recording and listening materials in establishments frequented by politicians and businessmen in Catalonia, has not gone unnoticed for the 'popular' . In fact, some of them, when sitting down to eat in an establishment, check for the possible installation of cameras or microphones , even going so far as to ask that decorative elements, such as flowers, be removed from the tables.
Sánchez-Camacho's recording broadcast in the US, manipulated The espionage plot in Catalonia has crossed borders and, last week, a download website spread the alleged recording of the meeting between Alicia Sánchez-Camacho and Oriol P Special Database ujol's ex-girlfriend , María Victoria Álvarez, in the La Camarga restaurant. Sources close to the regional president of the PP explain to this confidentiality that Camacho herself has analyzed the content of the audio broadcast in the US, and has verified that the recording has been manipulated. Specifically, " references to the Pretoria case involving CiU leaders and the possibility of making Álvarez a protected witness have been removed from the recording."As El Confidencial Digital has learned , the two lawyers responsible until Monday for the defense of Luis Bárcenas discussed with colleagues two weeks ago their doubts regarding continuing to work on the case of the former treasurer of the PP . Alfonso Trallero and Miguel Bajo had, according to the sources consulted, “ sufficient reasons” to stop representing their client , as they themselves have confirmed in private conversations.
Luis Bárcenas changed his strategy One of the main arguments of the two lawyers for abandoning Bárcenas' defense, and which they had already commented on since the end of last month, was the fact that their client was “increasingly free .” In this sense, the sources consulted assure that Trallero and Bajo “did not like that Bárcenas wanted to change the strategy of his defense ”, going from denying the existence of bonuses in the PP to ensuring that payments did exist in B. This change of speech meant his self-incrimination, which made the process very difficult. He met with journalists In the new strategy promoted by Luis Bárcenas, the former treasurer has contacted several journalists -beyond Pedro J. Ramírez-, to reveal supposed confidential data of the PP that would make the Government falter. His lawyers advised against this practice , but the 'popular' former treasurer turned a deaf ear to these recommendations. They had lost trust in him As they publicly declared on Monday after confirming that they were no longer defending Luis Bárcenas, Alfonso Trallero and Miguel Bajo had been privately commenting for two weeks that the former treasurer of the PP “ was no longer anywhere to be caught .” His attitude since mid-June caused his then lawyers to lose confidence in him, and also in a satisfactory resolution of the trial instructed by the judge of the National Court Pablo Ruz. They did not want to damage the image of the law firm.
