Overview
- The Audiencia Provincial de Madrid revoked Judge Juan Carlos Peinado’s move to investigate Francisco Martín Aguirre over alleged misuse of funds linked to Moncloa adviser Cristina Álvarez.
- Section 23 dismissed Vox’s querella against Martín Aguirre and nullified the malversación allegation in his case.
- The judges found no indicia of participation or knowledge by Martín Aguirre, gave the prevaricación claim minimal relevance, and described the accusations as mere suppositions.
- The ruling underscored chronology and roles, noting Álvarez’s appointment predated Martín Aguirre’s tenure and that no specific duty to control her activity was established.
- The case is archived as to Martín Aguirre while other avenues remain separate, with prior attempts to implicate other officials also rejected, including the Supreme Court’s refusal to impute minister Félix Bolaños and the brief, later-archived imputation of Judit Alexandra González.
