Overview

• Only lawyers appeared for Begoña Gómez, adviser Cristina Álvarez, and delegate Francisco Martín, invoking a Fiscalía circular that says personal attendance at this procedural act is not indispensable.
• The Public Prosecutor told the court there are no indications of malversation and supported archiving the separate piece, echoing defenses that argue Gómez is not a public official.
• The unified popular accusations led by Hazte Oír requested new diligences, including calling Pedro Sánchez and Félix Bolaños, summoning the current Secretaría General, ordering a careo between Álvarez and Alfredo González, and obtaining additional documents such as tax records.
• Peinado has maintained the referral to the Tribunal del Jurado and is awaiting UCO analyses of emails supplied by ex‑vicerrector Juan Carlos Doadrio, phone logs, and payment authorization records before ruling.
• Separate appeals on several of the judge’s decisions are queued at the Madrid Audiencia Provincial for review in early October, which could shape the scope of the investigation.
