Overview
- Judge Juan Carlos Peinado transmitted to the Guardia Civil’s UCO the full set of emails exchanged between the Complutense University, Begoña Gómez and Moncloa adviser Cristina Álvarez.
- Peinado has stated there are founded and solid indications of embezzlement and has set in motion proceedings toward a jury trial, pending the UCO’s report.
- The corpus exceeds 100 messages, including outreach to sponsor Reale Seguros, which the judge cites as the core indicia that Álvarez handled tasks tied to Gómez’s professional activity outside her public role.
- The emails came into focus after ex–vice rector Juan Carlos Doadrio reported “a hundred‑plus” exchanges, prompting a request from the unified popular accuser led by Hazte Oír that the judge first rejected and later approved.
- New instructions also ask the UCO to examine the Deloitte contract linked to the UCM chair and to provide files to the parties with personal content removed, while a separate request for seven years of Gómez’s emails remains under challenge by the Prosecutor’s Office.
