Bolaños accuses the Judicial Power of seeking the “total impunity” of Judge Peinado
The Minister of Justice appeals the refusal of the disciplinary authority to hand over the file of his complaints against the instructor in the ‘Begoña Gómez case’
Bolaños accuses Judicial Power of seeking "total impunity" for judge Peinado, reports EL PAÍS. Tensions between Presidente, Justicia y Relaciones with the Courts Minister Félix Bolaños and the General Council of the Judicial Power (CGPJ) have intensified recently. This escalation stems from a file containing complaints that Bolaños lodged against the juge Juan Carlos Peinado's conduct when questioning him as a witness regarding a contract with Cristina Álvarez, Bolaños' adviser, Begoña Gómez.
Despite the CGPJ rejecting Bolaños' appeal against the judge's decision on Tuesday, he has now appealed the disciplinary authority's refusal to provide him with a complete copy of the case file. In the document addressed to the CGPJ's permanent commission, Bolaños accuses the council of prolonging his complaint's processing and resolving its final review with "unexpected urgency" to facilitate "impunity" for Peinado, who is set to retire this week.
