Overview

• Begoña Gómez, her former Moncloa assistant Cristina Álvarez, and Madrid’s government delegate Francisco Martín Aguirre are cited to a pre-jury hearing on Saturday, 27 September at 18:00 in Madrid’s Court No. 41.
• The judge closes instruction on this piece and cites “rational, well‑founded and solid” indications, including emails with the Complutense University, to pursue malversación related to Álvarez’s purported private work for Gómez.
• Peinado activates the tribunal del jurado procedure applicable to alleged public‑office crimes, a step that can lead to a jury trial pending parties’ arguments, possible new diligences, and appellate review.
• Government ministers criticize the move—Félix Bolaños says an impartial court will set things right and Yolanda Díaz calls the instruction study‑worthy—while the PP demands resignations and says a jury undercuts ‘lawfare’ claims.
• The Audiencia Provincial de Badajoz upholds sending a separate case to oral trial against PSOE leader Miguel Ángel Gallardo and David Sánchez, as PSOE sources signal use of an internal ‘anti‑lawfare’ clause to keep Gallardo in his posts until a final conviction.
