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.
