José Manuel Villarejo a témoigné lundi devant l'Audiencia Nacional que l'opération Kitchen visait à obtenir des informations sur d'éventuels liens entre Juan Carlos I et le trafic d'armes. Eugenio Pino, qui a témoigné plus tôt, a défendu la légalité de l'opération et a disculpé les autres prévenus.

Villarejo a déclaré qu'Ignacio Cosidó lui avait confié l'opération par l'intermédiaire d'Eugenio Pino. Il a décrit l'opération comme étant légale et visant à localiser les actifs de Luis Bárcenas à l'étranger.

Le commissaire à la retraite a souligné que Mariano Rajoy a profité de l'opération pour obtenir des informations le concernant personnellement. Il a ajouté que les autres prévenus avaient été trompés par l'ancien président.

Pino, pour sa part, a maintenu que Kitchen faisait partie des opérations de renseignement habituelles de la DAO. Il a nié tout lien avec l'affaire Gürtel et a accusé Baltasar Garzón d'une manœuvre visant à l'impliquer.

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.

Retired Commissioner Manuel Vázquez, former UDEF head, testified Tuesday in the National Court that he was not informed of the Kitchen operation's spying on Luis Bárcenas during the Gürtel probe. He denied pressuring Inspector Manuel Morocho to alter reports on Bárcenas' papers. His testimony bolsters the prosecution's view that Kitchen was a parallel operation.

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.
