The Judge's Latest Request Investigating Sánchez's Brother That Corners Him

Sánchez's brother remains in the spotlight. The judge behind the case of David Sánchez has requested the Central Operational Unit of the Civil Guard to investigate how Luis Carrero was hired by the Badajoz Provincial Council. According to the magistrate, the former Moncloa advisor maintained a close relationship with the brother of the Prime Minister before joining the provincial body to assist the musician.

This has been confirmed by The Objective. Going into more detail, the decision is based on suspicions regarding the position that the Provincial Council allegedly granted "to satisfy Sánchez's personal preferences."

According to the media, it is also believed that "his functions may have been modified according to his requests." It is also believed that "people of his trust may have been hired to assist him in performing them."

The magistrate has focused on the process of creating and assigning the position of Head of the Section of Cross-Border Activities Centers and Programs, currently held by Luis Carrero. In order to determine if there were possible irregularities, she has requested the UCO to examine in detail the intercepted corporate emails.

Also the documentation provided by the Badajoz Provincial Council. The analysis will seek to clarify if there were any prior professional links between Carrero and David Sánchez before the position was awarded.

Sánchez's Earnings in the Provincial Council

It has been revealed that the Badajoz Provincial Council decided to expand the Opera project of Sánchez's brother. An expansion that coincides precisely with the ongoing investigation and in the midst of a UCO raid.

Specifically, the project expansion was signed on July 18 of last year by José María S. S., from the central services of Culture, Sports, and Youth.

EDATV has investigated how much Sánchez's brother has earned with that position, which, according to him, he accessed thanks to Google. The sum of money amounts to 273,074.33 euros gross from July 2017 to March 2024. They are distributed over eight fiscal years that don't add up to a full eight years.

The breakdown of the amount even shows the change in nomenclature in Sánchez's brother's position. In 2017, as a coordinator of activities in conservatories, he earned 22,603.82 euros, which amounts to 3,942.53 euros gross per month.

In 2018, there is an increase of 0.25% from July to December. This translated to 48,044.24 euros gross per year, reaching the figure of 4,020.13 euros gross per month.

The barrier of 4,000 euros gross per month would not drop in the following years; on the contrary, that figure has increased. In 2019 and 2020, they were the last years as a coordinator of activities in conservatories. This meant he earned 4,111.85 euros gross per month the first year, and in 2020 it was 4,194.12.

From this date, there is a change in nomenclature, and he becomes the head of the Performing Arts Office. From 2021 to March 2024, he earns an annual gross of 36,645.65 euros, 54,136.32, and 11,919.73 euros, respectively.

All this adds up to 273,074.33 euros. The document revealing these data also notes the leaves of absence from October 1, 2020, to September 30, 2021. In addition to the 16-week paternity leave, which is also reflected.
