José Manuel Villarejo declaró este lunes en la Audiencia Nacional que la operación Kitchen buscaba información sobre posibles vínculos del rey emérito con el tráfico de armas. Eugenio Pino, que declaró antes, defendió la legalidad del operativo y exculpó a los demás acusados.

Villarejo afirmó que Ignacio Cosidó le encomendó la operación a través de Eugenio Pino. Describió el operativo como legal y orientado a localizar bienes de Luis Bárcenas en el extranjero.

El comisario jubilado señaló que Mariano Rajoy se aprovechó de la operación para obtener información que le afectara personalmente. Añadió que el resto de imputados fueron engañados por el expresidente.

Pino, por su parte, sostuvo que Kitchen formaba parte de las operaciones habituales de inteligencia de la DAO. Negó cualquier relación con el caso Gürtel y acusó a Baltasar Garzón de una maniobra para implicarle.

Spain's National Court in San Fernando de Henares opened the Operación Kitchen trial on Monday, investigating a 2013 parapolice operation under Mariano Rajoy's government to spy on former PP treasurer Luis Bárcenas and steal compromising PP documents amid the Gürtel case. Ten ex-officials, including former Interior Minister Jorge Fernández Díaz, face up to 15-year sentences from Anticorruption Prosecutors. Defenses challenge jurisdiction and evidence, while current PP leaders distance the party and PSOE seeks to impute María Dolores de Cospedal and the PP.

Former president Mariano Rajoy denied last Thursday in the Kitchen trial sending a message to PP ex-treasurer Luis Bárcenas reading “hacemos lo que podemos”, despite acknowledging it in 2017 during the Gürtel trial. In that testimony, Rajoy said the message had no meaning. This contradiction arises amid probes into Partido Popular corruption.
