Overview
- The magistrate moved the main investigation to the jury route, adding alleged trafficking of influence, private-sector corruption, appropriation and professional intrusion to the malfeasance track already set last week.
- A court session is set for Oct. 6 at 5:30 p.m. to formally notify the parties of the procedural change.
- Gómez and her Moncloa aide have appealed to the Madrid Provincial Court, asserting there are no sufficient indicios and highlighting the absence of a legal framework defining the role of a prime minister’s spouse.
- A Guardia Civil UCO report cites up to 121 emails indicating the aide contacted sponsors tied to the UCM chair co-directed by Gómez, which accusers submit as central documentary evidence.
- Popular accusers seek further steps, including inviting the State Attorney to act for the Treasury, ordering patrimonial inquiries and broad email retrievals, and summoning Pedro Sánchez again as a witness.
