• The Criminal Chamber has assigned former president Manuel Marchena as investigating magistrate, according to the reporting.
• Complainants say Luis Pérez used a podcast and his Telegram channel to mobilize followers against them after they were elected on the Se Acabó la Fiesta ticket and later sat with the ECR group.
• The filing alleges he revealed their locations and contact details, unleashing torrents of abusive and threatening messages that forced changes to routines and even a phone number change.
• The Supreme Court notes the evidence submitted provides indicia of possible crimes at this incipient stage, warranting the opening of a new procedure.
• This becomes Pérez’s fourth case at the high court, alongside probes over a false PCR linked to Salvador Illa, alleged harassment of prosecutor Susana Gisbert, and a €100,000 campaign payment.
