UPF Raises €17,200 to Cover García Ortiz’s Supreme Court Sanctions

Funds have been deposited with the Supreme Court, closing the month-long collection.

Overview

  • The total covers a €7,200 fine for revealing reserved data and a €10,000 indemnity to businessman Alberto González Amador.
  • Launched on December 22, the campaign hit its target in about a month and the money has been deposited in a Supreme Court account, with further transfers rejected by the bank.
  • UPF reports donations from dozens of prosecutors across Spain along with additional offers and contributions from private citizens.
  • The association frames the effort as an ethical show of solidarity that defends prosecutorial independence and the dignity of public service.
  • García Ortiz remains under a two-year disqualification limited to the attorney general post, and he has rejoined the Supreme Court as a sala prosecutor in the Social Prosecutor’s Office.
