Overview
- Lead attorney Carlos Perales of Preico Jurídicos resigned via burofax, arguing the case has shifted from a technical legal matter to a political and media controversy.
- The procurador also stepped down and told the court he had unsuccessfully tried to resign on September 25 because Manos Limpias did not collect his burofax.
- The departing lawyers say strategic decisions now prioritize political opportunity, public impact, or ideological positioning over procedural logic and legal solidity.
- Their filings cite legal-ethics duties of independence and assert that using judicial procedure to pursue political objectives compromises the lawyer’s role.
- The investigation into Begoña Gómez continues before Madrid’s Court No. 41, with other accusers such as Vox, Iustitia Europa, Hazte Oír, and the Movimiento de Regeneración Política de España remaining in the case.
