Overview

  • Judge Beatriz Biedma has concluded her investigation, indicting David Sánchez, Luis María Carrero, Miguel Ángel Gallardo, and eight others for administrative prevarication and influence peddling.
  • The case centers on allegations that key positions in the Diputación de Badajoz were created specifically to benefit Sánchez and Carrero, bypassing fair hiring practices.
  • Key evidence includes emails, such as one titled 'El hermanísimo,' which indicated the positions were prearranged for Sánchez before formal hiring procedures began.
  • While the Public Prosecutor has decided not to press charges, popular accusers like Vox and Manos Limpias have ten days to submit their demands to proceed with the trial.
  • Charges of tax fraud and illicit enrichment against Sánchez were dismissed, as evidence confirmed his fiscal residency in Portugal and justified family donations.
