In 2020, after spending around two decades working in environmental law,[9] attorney general Dolores Delgado promoted him to chief prosecutor of the Attorney General's Office's Technical Secretariat.[10][11]
On 19 July 2022, after Dolores Delgado announced she would resign for health reasons,[16] it was revealed that García Ortiz would be the government's nominee to replace her.[17] On 21 July, the General Council of the Judiciary endorsed his nomination by a vote of twelve to seven.[18]
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.[22] This was the first time in Spanish democratic history that the government's candidate for Attorney General had been rejected.[23] Despite this, the government re-appointed García Ortiz on 27 December 2023.[24]
Since 16 October 2024, García Ortiz has been investigated by the Supreme Court for suspicions that he or his office could have leaked to the press private emails related to a tax fraud case of the boyfriend of the president of the Community of Madrid.[25][26][27] 14 days later the Civil Guard searched the Prosecutor's Office looking for evidence of the crime.[28]
