Judge Summons Nine Current CCMA Leaders Over Alleged Excess Pay From 2015–2021

The case stems from an SCC complaint citing an audit that flagged irregular pay despite the auditor later reporting no criminal or accounting indications.

Overview

  • Judge María Luz Barreiro has called the seven members of the CCMA governing council and two senior executives to testify as investigated in April and May 2026.
  • Sant Feliu de Llobregat’s Court of Instruction No. 1 opened proceedings in May to clarify the circumstances of the oversized remunerations and who authorized them.
  • The period under scrutiny covers 2015 to 2021 under the prior leadership, while the current management took office in 2022.
  • CCMA sources say the current team led by president Rosa Romà has corrected the anomalies identified in the audit.
  • The investigation unfolds with political pressure and staff mobilization over recent management decisions at TV3 and Catalunya Ràdio that prompted a partial reversal on branding.
