Overview
- Parliament President Roberta Metsola informed the Strasbourg plenary that she received the Supreme Court’s petition and referred it to the Committee on Legal Affairs.
- Spain’s high court has filed two separate suplicatorio requests concerning Pérez, who is under four Supreme Court investigations.
- One request seeks to investigate alleged social-media harassment of Valencia hate-crimes prosecutor Susana Gisbert.
- A second request concerns an inquiry into €100,000 that a businessman, identified as Álvaro Romillo (“CryptoSpain”), allegedly provided for SALF’s 2024 European campaign.
- The Legal Affairs panel may gather information and hear Pérez, then deliberates in private before recommending a plenary decision by simple majority, a process that often lasts around six months.
