Judge Juan Carlos Peinado faces potential disciplinary sanctions
Judge Juan Carlos Peinado, the instructor in the Begoña Gómez case, faces potential disciplinary sanctions that may be stalled by his upcoming mandatory retirement on September 27. The General Council of the Judiciary (CGPJ) has referred two complaints against him to the High Court of Justice of Madrid (TSJ) for review.
The complaints stem from statements made by Peinado in a judicial order, where he suggested that the police officers escorting Begoña Gómez, the wife of Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, could potentially facilitate her escape.
If the offenses are deemed minor, the TSJ could impose sanctions such as a formal warning or a fine of up to 500 euros. However, the legal proceedings face a tight deadline; if a decision is not reached before Peinado's retirement, the actions may have to be archived.
