Las 19 quejas de Bolaños sobre Peinado que el CGPJ archivó: “Censuró mi expresión facial y me prohibió sonreír”

A total of 19 irregularities attributed to judge Juan Carlos Peinado by minister Félix Bolaños were documented in five letters sent to the president of the Consejo General del Poder Judicial (CGPJ), Isabel Perelló, between June 2025 and April 2026. These irregularities allegedly included improper dismissals of a judge, atypical petitions, and intimidating comments.

Bolaños suggested that Peinado might have attempted a retaliatory charge against him by the Supreme Court following Bolaños' complaint to the CGPJ. This revelation was disclosed by EL PAÍS after analyzing the five letters, which have been reviewed by the newspaper. Despite the minister's appeal for the CGPJ to sanction Peinado in order to preserve the reputation of the Spanish judiciary, the governing body dismissed the complaints on July 28, claiming that while some decisions of the magistrate may be debatable, they do not warrant disciplinary action.
