Popular accusations of Begoña affair They asked Judge Juan Carlos Peinado withdraw Begoña Gómez’s passportwife of Pedro Sánchez, if he reiterates his intention not to go to court.
This is indicated in a document dated this Tuesday, to which EL ESPAÑOL had access, and signed by the political parties Vox and Iustitia Europa, the Hazte Oír association and the Political Regeneration Movement of Spain.
They request this measure after Gómez informed the magistrate this Monday that he did not intend to attend in person, on November 18, to collect the complaint filed against him by the Hazte Oír association, which is recently attached to the appeal. Begoña affair.
The reason given by Gómez’s defense is an official trip to the G20 Leaders’ Summit in Brazilto which she was invited, as the wife of the President of the Government, by the first lady of this country, Janja Lula da Silva.
Initially, Sánchez’s wife was under investigation for two crimes: influence peddling and corruption in private companies. However, Hazte Oír filed a complaint against him, which attributes two others to him: trespass and misappropriation.
Judge Peinado accepted it and admitted him for treatment. He summoned Gómez on the 18th to inform him of this complaint. It was this Monday that the lawyer of the person indicted, Antonio Camacho, sent a letter to the court warning that he does not consider it necessary for Gómez to appear in person, who ““He is fully aware of the above-mentioned complaint.” And he claimed that Sánchez’s wife intended to be in Rio de Janeiro on that date, for the G20 summit.
In response, popular accusations ask the judge to revoke his passport if Gómez insists on taking time off and traveling to Brazil. Or, alternatively, “that the date of the summons be changed to next Friday, November 15, date on which Begoña Gómez will not yet be on an official trip, after having her husband, on whom the interviewee’s agenda seems to dependcanceled (…) its participation in the XXIX Ibero-American Summit in Ecuador which will be held from November 12 to 15.”
In their common brief, the popular accusations also warn the judge that “taking into account the crimes analyzed and the modus operandi of them, we could lead to affirm that it is counterproductive to allow such
activity [el viaje a Brasil]”.
“And not only because of the obvious conflict of interest in the event of the development of any
activity, but would be in the same framework in which, previously, the criminal activity analyzed developed, taking into account the fact that the crimes [por los que se investiga a Begoña Gómez] were committed within the framework of meetings and meetings which, described as professional, were also institutional events which the person investigated attended and from which he took advantage for his own commercial activity”, they declare in their writing, in which they warn that “it is not even less exaggerated to assert that the possibility of criminal rehearsal“.
The Hazte Orír complaint
Hazte Oír’s complaint accuses Begoña Gómez of to have “appropriated” a software from the Complutense University of Madrida public center in which the businesswoman co-directed two master’s degrees, and for having offered this tool via the website of a company of which she is 100% owner.
Throughout the appeal hearing Begoña affairPedro Sánchez’s wife appeared twice at the court in Madrid’s Plaza de Castilla. The first summons, planned to celebrate his declaration as being under investigation, was postponed, at Camacho’s request.
Precisely, the lawyer, to justify his request for suspension, alleged orally before the judge that he had not been “properly informed” of the complaint filed by Hazte Oír.
On July 19, Peinado ended up questioning Gómez, who took advantage of her right not to testify, believing that the instructor had not clearly determined the facts for which he was investigating her.
At that time, Hazte Oír had already filed the above-mentioned complaint regarding the software of Complutense, but this had not yet been admitted for treatment and assumed by the judge. This is now the case.
In fact, it first fell into the hands of another court, which ultimately ruled in favor of Peinado, given the relationship between the events recounted by Hazte Oír and the Begoña affair. The Madrid Provincial Court, despite the opposition of the prosecution, confirmed that Peinado, in addition to the alleged crimes of influence peddling and corruption in the business world, had also investigated cases related to the alleged appropriation of software of Complutense.
