Overview

• Judge Hermenegildo Barrera of Juzgado de Instrucción nº 13 opened preliminary proceedings and sent the case to Juzgado nº 41, led by Judge Juan Carlos Peinado.
• The remittance cites a prior Vox complaint already accumulated in Court 41 whose content the judge deemed substantially identical.
• Prosecutor José Manuel San Baldomero opposed admitting the new Manos Limpias querella but supported sending it to the court already investigating related facts, warning about overlapping filings.
• The Manos Limpias complaint names Begoña Gómez, former Globalia CEO Javier Hidalgo, SEPI vice‑president Bartolomé Lora, businessman Víctor de Aldama and former adviser Koldo García.
• The order notes a possible criminal offence in how the 2020 Air Europa rescue was granted, with allegations of meetings in mid‑2020 as a €475 million aid mechanism advanced, and the matter remains at an early investigative stage.
