Overview

  • Judge Beatriz Biedma concluded the investigation, finding sufficient evidence to process David Sánchez and ten co-defendants for administrative prevarication and influence peddling.
  • The charges focus on the alleged creation of two tailored positions in the Diputación de Badajoz, benefiting Sánchez and his associate Luis Carrero.
  • Intercepted emails, including one titled 'El hermanísimo,' revealed advance knowledge of the positions being created specifically for Sánchez.
  • Initial allegations of tax fraud and illicit enrichment were dismissed following a Treasury report, narrowing the case to administrative offences.
  • The Provincial Prosecutor will not pursue an indictment, but the case may proceed through popular accusations from organizations like Manos Limpias and others.
