García Ortiz being inaugurated Attorney General

Following a review period by the Justice Commission of the Congress of Deputies, the Council of Ministers appointed him Attorney General on 1 August 2022.[20] The next day, he took office before the King, in the Royal Palace of La Almudaina.[21][22]

After Pedro Sánchez formed his third government, the Council of Ministers asked that García Ortiz's suitability for office was reviewed. After the request was granted, the General Council of the Judiciary found, in a non-binding report, that he was unsuitable for office.[23] This was the first time in Spanish democratic history that the government's candidate for Attorney General had been rejected.[24] Despite this, the government re-appointed García Ortiz on 27 December 2023.[25]]]

On October 16, 2024, Álvaro García Ortiz was charged by the Supreme Court for having revealed the emails of the boyfriend of the president of the Community of Madrid. [26] 14 days later the Civil Guard searched the Prosecutor's office looking for evidence of the crime. [27]
