The Judiciary rejects annulling the agreements that decreed Baltasar Garzón's expulsion as a judge. The Supreme Court (TS) has ratified the decision of the General Council of the Judicial Power (CGPJ) that confirmed the disqualification of Baltasar Garzón as a judge in 2012 for ordering the wiretapping of the phones of the lawyers of the main accused in the 'Gürtel case'.
