For his part, the prosecutor San Baldomero accumulates a long list of writings in favor of Begoña Gómez since Peinado opened the case on April 16. 155 days ago, the wife of the head of government was granted the status of accused, as published by OKDIARIO. The prosecutor arguedor active defense by Begoña Gómez. He recorded several texts in which he asks ignore the evidence against her and the direct record of the case, indicates that the judge’s decisions seem to seek a “general cause” against him disproportionately or, among other things, speaks of “conjectures” or “errors” in the magistrate’s instructions.
San Baldomero criticized each of Judge Peinado’s decisions, discrediting his alleged “speed” and requesting that the case be archived as it is considered an investigation “possible.” Another controversy arose when the judge refused to lift the secrecy of the minutes, which was extended until May. The prosecutor, in line with Camacho’s defense, considered this measure “disproportionate” to violate the rights of Begoña Gómez. Likewise, the prosecutor requested clarification on quote of the Rector of the Complutense University and of the appearance of the accused. Today, San Baldomero hopes to make the leap to the judicial elite and reach the National Court, where the most serious cases in the country are heard, such as those related to terrorism, organized crime, drug trafficking, crimes against the Crown or economic crimes that cause serious damage to Spain.
