Lawyer Leticia de la Hoz, charged in the PSOE sewer case, resigns from continuing to defend Koldo García

Leticia de la Hoz has withdrawn from defending Koldo García, who was sentenced for corruption in the 'mask case'. She cites professional reasons protected by confidentiality. De la Hoz is currently under investigation for allegedly attempting to bribe Carmen Pano, who testified about delivering cash to the PSOE headquarters. Her resignation follows reports of audio recordings where García claims the PP offered him money to speak against Pedro Sánchez. De la Hoz requests that García be allowed to appoint a new lawyer to ensure his right to defense is upheld.
