Overview

• Judge Beatriz Biedma has broadened the investigation to include embezzlement and influence-peddling charges against David Sánchez and Luis Carrero.
• The case centers on allegations that a senior role in the Diputación de Badajoz was created and later modified to suit Sánchez’s preferences.
• Emails reveal Sánchez and Carrero assumed Carrero’s hiring weeks before the job posting was officially published.
• Juana Cinta, head of Human Resources, has requested the dismissal of charges against her, arguing her role in the hiring process was administrative and non-criminal.
• Sánchez’s initial testimony in January raised doubts as he struggled to explain his duties and the purpose of the Office of Performing Arts.
