The Fiscal Inspection of the State Attorney General's Office has decided to open a government file to clarify whether confidential information was leaked to a deputy in Les Corts.

The action was initiated following a complaint filed by the Compromís coalition. The reason for the complaint is statements captured by open microphones during a session of the Economy, Budget and Finance Committee of the regional parliament on July 15.
In the conversation, a deputy from the Vox party claimed to have used privileged information regarding a judicial investigation into a human trafficking network dismantled in the province of Castellón. The parliamentarian claimed to know these details because a prosecutor had provided them to him.
The complaining party has welcomed the opening of the file, noting that the Inspection considers there are sufficient elements to begin an investigation into the events. The goal is to determine whether the duties of confidentiality and secrecy imposed by the Organic Statute of the Public Prosecutor's Office have been violated.
The case has generated reactions from other parliamentary groups, such as the PSPV, which has also demanded legal measures considering the gravity of the statements made during the parliamentary session.
