The judge cites Pedro Sánchez’s brother as a defendant after a UCO report that supports evidence of a crime

In a car to which ABC had access, the instructor reports on the receipt of that work from the Central Operational Unit of the Armed Institute and in light of her conclusions, she agrees to a battery of procedures that includes summoning him, as well as the president of the Badajoz Provincial Council, Miguel Ángel Gallardo and several of her positions, such as the former director of the Culture Area Elisa Moriano, the former delegate of that same department Cristina Nuñez or the former director of Human Resources, Juana Cintas.

He also summons the current director of Culture and former head of the Cultural Activities Service, Manuel Candalija, to testify; to the now Head of the Administrative Management Section and at the time of the signing of Sánchez’s brother, in Human Resources Management, like Félix González, who also held that position.

The director of the Culture Area on the dates subject to the investigation, who is still active in the Equality area, Emilia Parejo and Francisco Martos, deputy delegate of the Culture and Sports Area since 2019, join the list of those investigated.

The citations do not include Antonio Garrote Ledesma, who went to court upon learning that his email account in the Provincial Council had also been the subject of investigations and that now as a deputy in the Assembly of Extremadura for the PSOE he enjoys immunity before the Superior Court. The judge says that there is no qualified evidence against her to provide a reasoned statement and “until that level of solidity is reached,” she will continue to investigate the matter.

The actions of Sánchez’s brother

But in addition to calling investigators, who will parade through the court on January 9 and 10, the instructor has agreed to listen to experts and witnesses about the same events on the 8th and, in parallel, collect documentation about some of the revelations it contains. that Civil Guard report. In the case of Pedro Sánchez’s brother, the UCO says that “no evidence has been found that the person under investigation owns a number of BBVA shares that reach the value of 1.4 million euros” as had been maintained.

«It is explained by the UCO that it would be an erroneous calculation motivated by the fact that in the declarations relating to the years 2017, 2019 and 2021 in the ‘nominal value’ field the unit of measurement is reflected in euros and in the 2022 and 2023 this unit is not specified, so it would have been interpreted that it is the number of shares and not their value in euros. It asks BBVA to report on the value of these deposits “to clarify this circumstance.”

Job regulations and applicants for the position

In addition, it demands that the Badajoz Provincial Council “as soon as possible” provide the “regulations governing the procedure for the approval, review and modification” of the List of Jobs. This organization clings to that standard to defend that there was no need for a negotiation process and the opinion of a technical commission to change the name of the department headed by the brother of the President of the Government and which went from being called “Coordinator of Activities of the Music Conservatories” to “Head of the Performing Arts Office”, after the appointment of David Sánchez was called into question.

Along the same lines, he wants the “files relating to the changes in the names of Jobs of the Provincial Council that have taken place in the last 4 years; in order to determine their nature and the variation of functions that they entail on an ordinary basis. Also the projects that each of the participants had to present eleven candidates for that position coordination of activities and conservatories and the organizational charts of the Culture Delegation.
