Overview
- The court expanded the probe to prevarication against former regional official Carlos Mur and will examine the role of Francisco Javier Martínez Peromingo in orders tied to Hospital de Getafe and the Los Ángeles care home.
- The judge refused to open a region-wide case, citing limited territorial authority, so the investigation stays focused on specific events in Getafe.
- Mur is already under investigation for alleged discrimination in access to public healthcare linked to 2020 instructions that told geriatricians to refuse hospital transfers for residents with severe physical or mental dependency.
- The expansion followed a formal request from the PSOE, which acts as a popular prosecutor, after families’ groups filed a collective complaint that revived stalled cases.
- A provincial court is expected to decide soon whether to combine parallel cases into one court, a step that could shift scrutiny from local outcomes to regional decisions and shape accountability for affected families.
