Anti-corruption prosecutors have decided not to investigate the destruction of the disk drives inside two computers used by disgraced former Popular Party treasurer Luis Bárcenas while he was employed by the governing party.
In a report presented to the investigating Judge Pablo Ruz, prosecutors said that opening a case would not benefit the investigation and would only delay its conclusion.
The computers used by Bárcenas at the PP’s headquarters in Madrid were delivered to the High Court on August 16th, but when the computers were examined, one had no hard drive at all and the other contained a replacement.
According to Barcenas, the evidence he took to court was just a copy, the originals were stored on the two computers. Which now won’t be investigated.
