The Valencia Partido Popular have been forced to temporarily disable their web page, www.ppval.org, after a hacker gained access and inserted a wanted poster of the Partido Popular President of Valencia, Francisco Camps, with links to information on his alleged implication in the Gürtel corruption investigation. The hacker also called for his resignation.

El Mundo notes that the text which appears with his image, ‘Wanted – Only Alive’, is the same slogan which was used by the Compromís regional MP, Mónica Oltra, on a T-shirt she wore imprinted with Camps’s image at a session of the Valencia parliament this May.

Her protest over the Regional President’s implication in the Gürtel corruption investigation led to her being thrown out of the chamber.

The Valencia High Court has since cleared Francisco Camps of any involvement with the corruption network and it’s understood the Valencia will be placing an official complaint over what they describe as the hacker’s ‘reprehensible vandalism’.
