Spanish Judge Accuses Top Socialist of 'Legal Fraud' in Sánchez Brother's Case

A Spanish judge has accused Miguel Ángel Gallardo, the leader of the PSOE in Extremadura, of "legal fraud" related to his immunity from prosecution in the case of David Sánchez, the brother of Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez. The judge's ruling states that Gallardo's sudden acquisition of immunity, just one day before the judge issued an order to open an oral trial, appears to be a deliberate maneuver to obstruct justice. The judge's detailed account reveals how four candidates ahead of Gallardo on the electoral list were asked to renounce their seats, paving the way for Gallardo to gain immunity. Gallardo denies these claims, stating in an interview, "Non se está facendo xustiza" (Justice is not being done). The judge's concern is that Gallardo's actions will cause further delays in the already complex case. This case highlights the ongoing tensions within Spanish politics and the scrutiny surrounding those close to the Prime Minister.
