Overview

• Judge Beatriz Biedma has concluded the investigation and ordered an abbreviated trial for David Sánchez, brother of Spain's Prime Minister, and 10 others on charges of influence peddling and administrative prevarication.
• The allegations focus on the creation of customized positions within the Diputación de Badajoz, including one for Sánchez and another for his aide, Luis Carrero, allegedly tailored to their personal preferences.
• Intercepted emails, including one referencing Sánchez as 'El hermanísimo,' were key evidence indicating the positions were pre-destined for him before any formal selection process.
• The Fiscalía has opted not to file charges, but popular accusers, including Manos Limpias, Vox, and the Partido Popular, could still push for an oral trial to proceed.
• Charges of tax fraud and illicit enrichment against Sánchez were dismissed after evidence confirmed his fiscal residency in Portugal and no criminal discrepancies were found.
