  "account": "The prosecution argues that David Sánchez, brother of Spain's government president, and Miguel Ángel Gallardo, a former leader of the PSOE party in Extremadura, did not commit any crime. Consequently, it seeks the Higher Court of Justice in Extremadura to overturn the sentences of nine years and 18 years of disqualification, respectively, for alleged irregularities in the hiring of Pedro Sánchez's relative in Badajoz's Deputation in 2017. The prosecution contends that the sentence handed down by the Provincial Court describes \"differences\" regarding the appropriateness of certain positions, \"views found\" on organizational needs, \"trade union criticisms,\" \"rumors about potential candidates,\" and \"evaluations\" on the \"effective performance\" of David Sánchez. The prosecution emphasizes in its appeal, first reported by El Español and accessed by EL PAÍS, that none of these circumstances equate to criminal arbitrariness.",
  "summary": "El ministerio público recrimina al tribunal haber condenado a David Sánchez y al exlíder del PSOE extremeño con una “acumulación de sospechas, impresiones subjetivas, rumores y valoraciones retrospectivas”",
