Begoña Gómez resorts to the decide’s resolution to deliver his case for embezzlement earlier than a jury if he reaches trial | Spain | EUROtoday

The protection of Begoña Gómez believes that any of the authorized necessities are given in order that the open trigger towards the spouse of the president of the Government for embezzlement is seen earlier than a jury if he reaches trial. Gómez’s lawyer, Antonio Camacho, has appealed that call adopted every week in the past by Judge Juan Carlos Peinado as a result of, in line with the protection, there isn’t any crime of embezzlement (a kind of offered by the legislation of the jury to be tried by this sort of courtroom), nor any of the three investigated (along with Gómez; his advisor Cristina Álvarez; and the present delegate of the federal government locally of Madrid, Francisco Martín, Francisco Martín, of Secretary General of the Presidency) may be thought of alleged writer of that crime. Amazan, the imputation, in line with Gomez’s lawyer, will not be “plausible”, which is the third situation established by legislation to open a jury process.

The useful resource of the protection comes after a report of the Central Operational Unit (UCO) of the Civil Guard that concludes that the Women’s Assistant of Pedro Sánchez interceded earlier than a fortnight of sponsors of the chair that Gómez co -directed on the Complutense University of Madrid (UCM) was identified. In the attraction offered now, the protection insists that Álvarez solely despatched some occasional electronic mail as a “favor” for the president’s spouse as a result of they had been pals, which “can never be interpreted as a behavior” constituting a criminal offense of embezzlement. “That behavior is very common and enters within social uses and interpreting that it could be constitutive of a embezzlement is only the result of an extraordinarily extensive interpretation of the Criminal Code,” says the protection.

Gómez’s lawyer argues that there are neither info that slot in a embezzlement nor does the situation of public official required that crime in Sánchez’s spouse. The lawyer and former Minister Camacho recollects that the emails despatched by Álvarez within the title of Gómez by which the decide justifies the imputation of embezzlement had been framed within the chair of aggressive social transformation and, though the president’s spouse was the co -director, “she did not charge any amount” for that process. “In these circumstances, can it be estimated that this was a job or that he asked for that favor to benefit financially? We believe that this interpretation exceeds the principles that preside over the criminal law of advanced societies like ours,” says the protection.
