Spain’s General Council of the Judiciary (CGPJ) is considering opening disciplinary proceedings against Judge Juan Carlos Peinado. This follows statements made by Peinado alleging that police forces could have assisted Begoña Gómez, the wife of Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, in evading investigation. The CGPJ’s president has proposed initiating action against the judge. The council will convene on Monday to debate the proposal and determine next steps. The allegations center around potential improper conduct by Judge Peinado and the possible misuse of police resources. This development adds to a period of heightened political tension in Spain, fueled by scrutiny of Gómez’s business dealings and accusations of conflicts of interest. The outcome of the CGPJ meeting will determine whether a formal investigation into Peinado’s conduct will proceed.
