Judge Juan Carlos Peinado has presented a reasoned request to the Supreme Court to investigate Félix Bolaños, who serves as the Minister of the Presidency, Justice, and Relations with the Courts. This request stems from an ongoing investigation concerning the hiring of an advisor linked to Begoña Gómez, the partner of the Prime Minister, Pedro Sánchez.

The allegations against Bolaños include misappropriation of funds and providing false testimony during the investigation. This development marks a significant turn in the case as it brings scrutiny to high-ranking members of the government.

The Supreme Court’s involvement is crucial as it implies that the case may have broader implications for the political landscape in Spain. Legal experts suggest that the outcome could impact the public’s perception of the current administration.

For now, further details regarding the investigation are awaited, and updates will continue to unfold as the judiciary takes action on this high-profile inquiry.
