Overview
- Begoña Gómez, Moncloa assistant Cristina Álvarez and Madrid’s government delegate Francisco Martín are included in the jury proceeding over alleged misuse of a publicly paid aide, with personal notification set for Saturday, 27 September at 18:00 in Court No. 41 (Plaza de Castilla).
- The order cites newly received emails from former UCM vice‑rector Juan Carlos Doadrio as indicia that bolster the plausibility of the facts, noting that Gómez and Álvarez declined to answer most questions in their 10 September appearances.
- Peinado has requested all Gómez’s Moncloa emails since June 2018 for Guardia Civil’s UCO analysis, as other lines of inquiry remain open for alleged influence peddling, corruption in business, intrusismo and appropriation.
- Government and PSOE figures describe the move as “surrealista” and say a neutral court will correct it, recalling the Supreme Court previously rebuffed an attempt to implicate Gómez for malversation; Martín says he expects the case “to come to nothing” and questions the Saturday scheduling.
- Multiple appeals tied to this case await resolution at the Madrid Provincial Court, and the judge has filed civil claims alleging injury to his honour against ministers Fernando Grande‑Marlaska and Óscar Puente as well as media outlets.
