The affectionate email to Sánchez's "little brother" from a Moncloa worker

Judge Beatriz Biedma, in charge of the instruction number 3 of Badajoz, has recovered an email from June 2022 sent from the Palacio de la Moncloa.

In this message, a Moncloa employee addresses David Sánchez Pérez-Castejón, known artistically as David Azagra, as "Dear little brother."

The content of the email suggests a close relationship between the two and mentions a joint cultural project.

This finding has reignited the investigation into Azagra's hiring as coordinator of activities for the conservatories of the Diputación de Badajoz in 2017.

The initial complaint, filed by Manos Limpias in June 2024, accuses Azagra of embezzlement, arguing that he obtained the position due to his kinship with the president of the Government.

David Azagra has defended his hiring, stating that he found the job offer online and had no prior relationship with the conservatories where he now coordinates activities. He also pointed out that the complaint lacks clear evidence and that he fulfillled the assigned tasks adequately and diligently.

For his part, the president of the Diputación de Badajoz, Miguel Ángel Gallardo, has also declared as a person under investigation. Gallardo has assured that he didn't know David Azagra before his hiring and that it was carried out according to the law.

Judge Beatriz Biedma has requested the Diputación de Badajoz to provide the job description of David Azagra during his employment period. This request aims to clarify the responsibilities and tasks performed by Azagra in his position.

The investigation focuses on determining whether David Azagra's hiring was conducted legally. Additionally, if there was any favoritism or influence peddling due to his kinship with the president of the Government.

The discovery of the Moncloa email has added complexity to the case. It suggests a closer relationship between Azagra and government members than previously reported.

This case has sparked an intense public debate about transparency and legality in public hiring processes. The judicial investigation is ongoing, and it is expected that in the coming weeks the facts will be clarified and the corresponding responsibilities determined.
