Same Contact Threatened Two Judges in Spain, Reports Say
Listen to the story
A man made contact about Judge Biedma. He wanted to remove her from her job.
Police say the same man also threatened another judge. This happened in Badajoz, a city in Spain.
People use the word 'fontanera' for a woman who worked with contacts. Her agenda, or diary, had important information.
The information shows something new. A former judge may not have worked alone. People called this story the 'Leire case'.
The PSOE is a political party in Spain. They said the former judge worked alone. This new information makes people doubt that.
Judge Biedma spoke about this at a big court. This court is called the Audiencia Nacional.
She said: 'There, hurting me is very easy.' She said this about a place where she felt unsafe.
Police are still looking at this case. They want to know who the man is and why he did this.
