PP lawmaker accuses Minister Bolaños of colluding with Badajoz crime networks
PP parliamentary spokesperson Ester Muñoz charged Minister Félix Bolaños with using socialist contacts to pressure Judge Biedma through Badajoz criminal groups.
In a congressional statement, Ester Muñoz claimed the government crossed an unprecedented line by linking socialist allies with Badajoz mafias to influence the magistrate overseeing the David Sánchez investigation. She said the alleged scheme aimed to coerce the judge handling the case involving the president's brother. Muñoz portrayed the episode as a reversal of typical corruption patterns, with a ruling party allegedly manipulating organized crime.
Why it matters
The allegation raises concerns about political interference in a judicial probe of the president's family.
