• Spain’s Audiencia Provincial de Badajoz confirmed that David Sánchez, the prime minister’s brother, will stand trial on prevarication and influence‑peddling charges.
• Judge Juan Carlos Peinado notified Begoña Gómez that any malversation case reaching trial would go before a jury, as ministers criticized the probe and the opposition escalated the telematic‑bracelet controversy in Parliament.
• In Culiacán, gunmen attempted to seize a vehicle carrying Governor Rubén Rocha Moya’s granddaughter, leaving two state protection agents injured—one in critical condition—while the child was unharmed.
• Authorities mounted an interagency response and cited 14,000 federal troops deployed in Sinaloa, most in Culiacán, noting a recent decline in homicides as security meetings continued.
• Peru’s President Dina Boluarte used her UN address to denounce foreign “intervencionismo” and defend military and police facing long human‑rights cases, while courts opened the oral trial of ex‑Lima mayor Susana Villarán and prosecutors sought tighter conduct rules and a S/20,000 bond for former PM Betssy Chávez.
