# Eurobattery Minerals leadership and mining crisis > Live situation record from CLSTR: https://clstr.news/situations/eurobattery-minerals-leadership-and-mining-crisis > Updated: 2026-09-28T10:39:56.000Z. Sources: 3. Developments: 2. Eurobattery Minerals and its subsidiary, Tungsten San Juan, have entered a period of significant instability following legal and leadership crises involving CEO Roberto García Martínez. Martínez was convicted in Spain of fraud related to a 2011 mining investment in Sierra Leone, resulting in a two-year prison sentence and a 3.46 million euro liability. He is also under investigation by the Swedish Economic Crime Authority for alleged aggravated insider trading. The scandal triggered the immediate resignation of chairman Jan-Olof Arnbom and the termination of liquidity provider Mangold Fondkommission AB as mentor. Consequently, shares of Eurobattery Minerals were suspended on the Stockholm Stock Exchange. As a direct result of these developments, Tungsten San Juan announced a “temporary suspension” of its tungsten mining operations in A Gudiña, Ourense. This suspension coincides with the A Gudiña City Council halting activity until the company provides documentation required to secure a municipal opening license. The company stated the pause is intended to ensure “strict compliance with legal and regulatory obligations.” ## Timeline ### 2026-09-28: Tungsten mining in A Gudiña suspended amid leadership scandal Tungsten mining operations in A Gudiña have been temporarily suspended following a fraud conviction of Eurobattery Minerals' CEO and the subsequent resignation of the company's president. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/tungsten-mining-in-a-gudia-suspended-amid-leadership-scandal ### 2026-09-22: Eurobattery Minerals faces crisis amid CEO fraud conviction Eurobattery Minerals faces leadership resignations and stock suspension following CEO Roberto García Martínez’s fraud conviction in Spain and an insider trading investigation in Sweden. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/eurobattery-minerals-faces-crisis-amid-ceo-fraud-conviction --- Cite as: Eurobattery Minerals leadership and mining crisis.
