Judge Beatriz Biedma reports alleged car following in Badajoz
Judge Beatriz Biedma says a former judge followed her by car as she returned to Badajoz from a court appearance in Madrid.
She told police that one of her daughters saw Luis José Sáenz de Tejada in a car driving alongside theirs.
Biedma said she did not know how he could have known her route and feared a tracking device might have been placed in her car.
The complaint has been added to a National Court investigation into alleged wrongdoing involving Sáenz de Tejada and others.
The case is linked to efforts to interfere with Biedma’s investigation into the brother of Spain’s prime minister, Pedro Sánchez.
Biedma and her daughters have police protection, according to the reports.
Sáenz de Tejada is due to appear in court on October 28, and the investigation will continue.

Biedma said one of her daughters noticed a white car pull alongside their vehicle and identified Sáenz de Tejada as an occupant.
She said she did not know how he could have known her route and feared that a tracking device might have been placed in her car.
