The Central Operative Unit of the Civil Guard has detained Leire Díez, former PSOE member and councilor, and Vicente Fernández, former president of the State Industrial Participations Society, in a probe into alleged corruption in public contracting. The operation, led by the National Court and under seal, focuses on fraud, embezzlement, and influence peddling. Both were arrested on Wednesday in Madrid.
