Overview
- Universidad Complutense de Madrid formally appeared as a perjudicada after Judge Juan Carlos Peinado’s invitation, positioning itself to claim damages tied to the platform linked to Gómez’s cátedra.
- The university details €102,848.27 in direct payments, including work by Making Science and Deloitte, and notes additional private contributions reported around €320,000 to the software effort.
- Peinado is preparing the influence‑peddling allegations for a jury trial, while other counts such as alleged misappropriation would proceed outside the Tribunal del Jurado’s remit.
- The popular accuser Hazte Oír submitted a 30‑plus‑page brief alleging a network of influence involving Cristina Álvarez and Juan Carlos Barrabés, citing corporate meetings and sponsorships with Reale, Indra and Telefónica.
- Álvarez’s defense moved to dismiss the case against her, arguing there is no evidence of effective pressure on officials and describing her role as logistical, as the prosecution has separately reiterated it sees no profit motive in the software plan.
