Juan Lobato, who served as leader of the PSOE of Madrid, has explained as a witness in the Supreme Court that on the morning of March 14, 2024, at 8:29 in the morning and before the media published its full content, he received the document with the confession from Pilar Sánchez Acera, Moncloa's advisor at the time. “No,” he answered when Alberto González Amador's lawyer asked if he knew if the document came from the Prosecutor's Office.
Sánchez Acera, who during the investigation phase declared that this document was passed to him by a journalist whose identity he does not remember, will be the next to testify. Lobato explained that he did not use the document that morning and waited for El Plural to publish the full email to use that version of the email: “Out of prudence, as a Treasury technician, it is a document that if the origin is not certified it is better not to use.”
Lobato received the document in his email at 8:29 a.m. that morning and ended up using it several hours later in his speech at the Madrid Assembly. The first time that Ayuso appeared in the Madrid chamber after elDiario.es published her partner's case and after the revelation of the confession frontally contradicted her speech.
