The Permanent Commission of Spain's General Council of the Judiciary (CGPJ) met to discuss whether to close the five complaint files opened against the controversial judge Juan Carlos Peinado, who is handling the case of Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez's wife, Begoña Gómez. The prosecutor conducting the disciplinary investigation, Ricardo Conde, recommended that the complaints against Judge Peinado be dismissed.
A deep division is being experienced among the council members between the progressive and conservative wings; while the conservative members of the council defend the judge, the progressive members are striving for the judge to receive a disciplinary penalty. Since no agreement has been reached between the parties, the discussions will continue in the coming days.
Judge Peinado's claims, as a justification for seizing Begoña Gómez's passport, that police officers could help her flee had caused a major institutional upheaval. Following this incident, a historic decision was made to open a disciplinary investigation against the judge, with the deciding vote of CGPJ President Isabel Perelló.
