Summary

Spanish prosecutors have shelved their inquiry into a USB drive submitted by the ruling Socialist Party (PSOE) to the National Court as part of the investigation into former party member Leire Díez. After receiving a report from the Civil Guard's forensic unit (UCO), the public prosecutor found no new elements in the material provided and decided not to open any new legal proceedings. The decision effectively closes this particular avenue of the wider political corruption case.
