Next Thursday, February 29, at 7:30 p.m., the book The Conspiracy. The truth of the Stampa prosecutor's case. will be presented at the UNED in Arrecife. Its author, Ignacio Stampa, was a professor at the School of Legal Practice of the UNED of Lanzarote in the past decade and in the text he tells us how he was the involuntary protagonist of a set of events of enormous media repercussions during his intervention as an Anti-Corruption prosecutor in the so-called Tándem case or Villarejo case.
Faithful to himself, he decided to confront different bodies and those who, from the top of the State Attorney General's Office, allegedly "conspired for dark personal interests to cause his professionalism to be questioned and not continue with said investigation".
The book unravels the facts "through a meticulous analysis full of contrasting data, so that the reader can interpret what happened," he says. It also shows "how the contamination of public opinion was created through the informative manipulation of those who had the capacity to control the news that reached citizens, from public institutions and the media."
Stampa shows in these pages "his regret for the discredit" to which the institution of the Public Prosecutor's Office has been taken, with the desire that situations like those experienced by him will not be repeated with any other citizen, prosecutor or not.
