Begoña Gómez defends that the hairstyle leads her to the Jury Court “with stereotyped and empty formulas”
The defense of Begoña Gómez, as well as those of his advisor Cristina Álvarez and businessman Juan Carlos Barrabés, the Prosecutor's Office and the State Advocacy requested on Monday afternoon to Judge Juan Carlos Peinado who filed the main part of the open investigation against the wife of the president of the Government, in which he investigates his activity at the Complutense University and his relations with Barrabés. Thus the three parties were pronounced during the appearance before the magistrate on the transformation of the procedure by the law of the jury court.
Antonio Camacho, Gomez's lawyer, stressed that neither the judge in his order to transform the procedure in the jury court or the popular accusations in the hearing held on Monday have presented a single indication against his client. “The law of the jury did not protect conditional. What the legislator sought was, obviously, the realization of the indications, and not the use of stereotyped and empty formulas of any content,” Camacho transferred within the Chamber, as reported to Eldiario.es sources present in the statement. From popular accusations Camacho said they reported “a novel,” add these same sources.
In his speech, the lawyer was reviewing each of the crimes that the wife of the President of the Government is accused. It highlights the mention of the accusation for influence peddling for signing two type letters, on behalf of the Complutense, supporting that it would apply software that the Barrabés businessman, also accused, presented to a contest. Camacho recalled that the letters “are not in the procedure” and that who accuses Gomez should also do it against “an institution as serious” as the Madrid City Council, of which missives came out in the same direction.
“That Begoña Gómez is the president's wife does not justify a universal investigation like the one that is being made of her personal, professional life, of all her activities, of her academic training …”, Camacho continued, according to the aforementioned sources, which report that the lawyer later insisted: “There are no indications, they did not exist in the car that summoned us and they have not revealed in the intervention of the popular accusation. likelihood of what does not exist. ”
The lawyer referred to the connection between crimes that, according to hairstyle, would justify a second trial for the Jury Court. The judge made a “short and paste” of an article in a legal magazine to transfer that theory and then tried to fit into that thesis the action of the President of the Government. Again Camacho referred to the lack of foundation of the judge. “There is no delimitation of what crimes are imputed to some people and which to others [además de Gómez están imputados en esta pieza principal Barrabés y la asistente Cristina Álvarez]”, Complained the lawyer.
And then, he continued: “I suppose that no one will sustain in this act that Mr. Barrabés is charging a crime of intrusion or that Mrs. Álvarez is being charged with a crime of intrusion. That Mr. Barrabés is also responsible for undue appropriation or Mrs. Álvarez.” “It is obvious that there are behaviors that develop in the object of this procedure at the Complutense University and others that are developed in the public administration,” the lawyer continued to argue the impossibility of connecting all the crimes already the three accused in a procedure, as required by the law of the jury.
Four crimes
The magistrate quoted the wife of the president of the Government on Monday, his advisor at La Moncloa, Cristina Álvarez, and Barrabés to communicate that if they finally sit on the bench for the four crimes attributed to them, it will be a court formed by Citizens who determine whether or not it is guilty. On September 23, the magistrate had decided to direct the part of the cause centered on the alleged embezzlement for the work carried out by the Moncloa advisor who attends the wife of the president of the Government. If the procedures continue, the wife of the chief of the Executive will face two judgments with popular jury.
Almost a year and a half ago, Judge Peinado opened the cause against Begoña Gómez following a complaint of the pseudosindicato ultra clean hands, based on press information, some of them directly false. Since then, the main investigation accumulates several ramifications, although until now there have been no evidence of corruption crimes in the private sector, influence peddling, improper appropriation or intrusion that the magistrate investigates.
In relation to the crimes of influence peddling and corruption in business, the accusations argue that Begoña Gómez achieved a treatment of favor of the administration for Barrabés, who gave three classes in the master's degree that she co -directed in the Complutense and for which she charged 150 euros gross each. After the European Prosecutor's Office assumed this part of the case because the contracts had been financed with community funds, Peinado chose to investigate whether Begoña Gómez could have had some kind of influence in the other public contracts with different administrations that obtained a Barrabés company for 21 million euros. At the moment, there has been no indication that the president's wife intervened in those tenders.
Likewise, the judge investigates whether Sanchez's wife incurred the crime of intrusion for signing a statement in a tender of the Complutense, where he co -directed the aforementioned chair; And if he committed undue appropriation for registering the logo of the website of the two masters he taught at that university and for which he charged 15,000 euros per year.
