The public ministry censures the times managed by the magistrate, who retired this Sunday, in the final phase of the 'Begoña Gómez case'
Prosecutor José Manuel San Baldomero has launched another reproach to Judge Juan Carlos Peinado, who retired this Sunday after accelerating the case against Begoña Gómez in September in order to send her to the bench. In a new letter, the representative of the public ministry censures the times managed by the judge in the final phase of the investigation, when he summoned the parties just one day in advance to hold the viewing necessary by law to open an oral trial with a jury. "The indicated speed is not usual. It is neither desirable nor acceptable to go over the heads of professionals," he points out.
The prosecutor insists that "this haste and speed in signaling certain procedures (and even schedules) is not usual, customary or normal in known uses, leaving the parties and professionals in certainly strange situations." “Also forcing intense and fortunate trips,” San Baldomero emphasizes, in reference to the hasty flight that Begoña Góméz's new lawyer, Jaime Campaner, had to take in order to attend the appointment.
