In 2004 she was appointed communication director of the Superior Court of Justice of Madrid,[2] a position from which she was dismissed in 2008 "for loss of confidence"[6] following the publication, in November 2007, of the book La soledad del juzgador, about how her husband, the investigating judge of the 11-M case, had dealt with the judicial process.
In June 2014 she published a novel, Peaje de libertad.[4]
