The key piece in the indictment of Begoña Gómez's advisor that corners Sánchez

The 'Begoña Gómez case' has become the center of other indictments that have caused a great scandal. This, despite the attempts by Pedro Sánchez's government to discredit the investigation involving his wife, and some officials from public entities, such as Moncloa.

Judge Juan Carlos Peinado has decided to indict Cristina Álvarez, an advisor at Moncloa and assistant to Begoña Gómez, following her judicial statement in December. In which she acknowledged her hiring for this position.

The magistrate considers that her involvement in the investigation concerning the wife of the Prime Minister is evident. This, due to her role in fund management and responding to emails related to the chair that Gómez co-directed at the Complutense University of Madrid. These actions could constitute crimes of influence peddling and business corruption.

This new judicial situation poses a challenge for the Prime Minister. He has avoided clarifying for months the reasons behind Álvarez's hiring and the public salary she receives. Additionally, at first, Moncloa didn't acknowledge other expenses associated with Begoña Gómez beyond those related to her security, as this medium reported.

Although Begoña Gómez doesn't hold a public position, she had Álvarez in personal assistant functions for her activities. This has led the judge to modify her procedural status. The advisor has been summoned again to testify on February 28 at 9:30 a.m.

Although Moncloa denied information about the use of public resources in Begoña Gómez's activities, it has recently come to light that Álvarez has been receiving compensation for her work.

According to El Debate, in a letter last July, the director of the Legal Department of La Moncloa, Beatriz Rodríguez Pérez, stated that:

There are no more expenses (...) than those derived from the security function.

However, the same media outlet emphasizes that, if the existence of unrecognized payments is confirmed, it could be a possible crime of falsification in a public document. This, in conjunction with malfeasance.

Radical turn in the Begoña Gómez case after the judge's request regarding her advisor

Judge Juan Carlos Peinado, who is investigating Begoña Gómez, wife of Pedro Sánchez, has indicted Cristina Álvarez. However, this has resulted in a consequence that could be very relevant to the case.

Cristina Álvarez carried out functions as an advisor to Begoña Gómez at Moncloa. The judge indicts her for her alleged involvement in the managements related to the chair at the Complutense University of Madrid (UCM).

This indictment is motivated by alleged crimes of influence peddling and a crime of business corruption. Although the truth is that Judge Peinado indicts her for four alleged crimes. Álvarez stated when she testified as a witness that she asked for money for Begoña Gómez's courses as a "personal favor."

However, it goes further, and for this reason, he takes a step forward in the investigation of Pedro Sánchez's wife.

The truth is that one of the judge's requests regarding Begoña Gómez's advisor tightens the noose around her mobile. It is a parallel order to the Central Operational Unit of the Civil Guard to collect her call traffic.

In said order, the name of the businessman and partner of Begoña Gómez, Barrabés, is also perceived. "The record of calls made and received by Ms. Álvarez from her appointment to the present day. All related to phones linked to the UCM and its staff and to numbers linked to Mr. (Juan Carlos) Barrabés and his group."

Undoubtedly, an analysis that the judge hopes will clarify and shed more light on the Begoña Gómez case.
