Tribunal Superior de Justicia de Galicia

The Tribunal Superior de Justicia de Galicia (Galician High Court) is the highest court in the autonomous community of Galicia, Spain. It is responsible for overseeing the administration of justice within the region. Recent news highlights the court's involvement in significant legal proceedings. Firstly, the Fiscalía (Prosecutor's Office) has appealed to the Constitutional Court to annul the conviction of former Attorney General Álvaro García Ortiz, which was initially handled within the Galician judicial system. The appeal argues that the conviction for revealing confidential data violated his presumption of innocence. Secondly, the Audiencia Provincial de A Coruña, operating within the Galician High Court's jurisdiction, sentenced a couple to over 11 years in prison for sexually assaulting a person with a mental disability. These cases demonstrate the court's ongoing role in addressing both high-profile political matters and serious criminal offenses within Galicia.
