Overview

  • The Ministerio Fiscal has formally requested the dismissal of charges against David Sánchez and ten co-defendants in the alleged nepotism case involving the Diputación de Badajoz.
  • Prosecutors assert that the accusations lack factual evidence and are based on conjecture, deeming them insufficient to proceed to trial.
  • The creation of the coordinator position for conservatories, held by David Sánchez, was found to follow legal procedures and serve the public interest, supported by technical reports.
  • Testimonies from conservatory directors did not indicate opposition to the position or suggest ulterior motives, while concerns raised by a CSIF representative were deemed irrelevant to criminality.
  • The court will now decide whether to accept the fiscal petition and officially close the case, which has drawn political scrutiny over government ethics.
