The Supreme Court has shelved the request of Judge Juan Carlos Peinado, investigator of the case against Begoña Gómez, to investigate the Minister of the Presidency, Justice and Relations with the Courts, Félix Bolaños.

What the Supreme Court has now given is the answer to a reasoned statement made by Judge Peinado at the Supreme Court on 23 June. The Examining Magistrate considers that there are "well-founded and qualified reasonable indications" that Bolaños committed (as co-author) an improper use of public money, and that, as far as his testimony as a witness is concerned, he may have made false testimony.

Bolaños committed a crime of misuse in 2018 when he hired Cristina Álvarez as adviser to Begoña Gómez. She specifies that she hired him with public money, although she did "private work" for Pedro Sánchez's wife.

However, the Court has ruled that "there is no indication" of Bolaños's involvement in these crimes and has decided to file a reasoned statement from the investigating judge.
