On Tuesday, the Attorney General of the State, Álvaro García Ortiz, appointed prosecutor Emilio Sánchez Ulled (Lleida, 1966), who is currently serving on special services in the European Union, to fill the newly created position of prosecutor for crimes against public administration. It was a controversial appointment because the members of the majority Association of Prosecutors abstained, expressing their opposition to the potential invasion of powers by the Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office.
