Possible betrayal of Raphinha: his father would have swindled him out of a lot of money<\/a><\/p>\n

\n MadridFour weeks after Pedro S\u00e1nchez arrived at Moncloa, the new Minister of Justice, Dolores Delgado, hired<\/a> Antonio Viejo (Madrid, 1959) as Secretary General of the Administration of Justice<\/a>. For two years, he was in charge of \u201cdriving, directing and monitoring\u201d the \u201cmodernization, organization and distribution of human and material resources\u201d of the justice administration and relations, for example, with the General Council of the Judiciary or the Public Prosecutor’s Office. He remained in office until February 2020<\/a>, after the formation of the coalition government between the PSOE and Unidas Podemos.<\/p>\n

\n Antonio Viejo is affiliated with the Francisco de Vitoria Judicial Association (AJFV), the second largest judicial association in terms of members and with an independent character. \u201cIt is a sign of unequivocal change,\u201d they celebrated upon learning of his election. Eight years later, he has been the judge who has prohibited Bego\u00f1a G\u00f3mez from traveling to Turkey to attend the NATO summit accompanying the Spanish president, although he has allowed her to attend her daughter’s graduation in London.<\/p>\n

\n His appointment came two months after he demonstrated against the Minister of Justice of Mariano Rajoy<\/a>. Together with more than 400 members of the judiciary, he expressed his \u201cdiscontent\u201d with Rafael Catal\u00e1 for not having committed to supporting a package of proposals to improve justice.<\/p>\n

Ayuso’s partner’s second judge<\/p>\n

\n In September 2025, his name made headlines because he won the transfer competition to replace Inmaculada Iglesias, who requested voluntary retirement and was the one who had initiated the case against Alberto Gonz\u00e1lez Amador, Isabel D\u00edaz Ayuso’s partner. She had brought him to the brink of trial for tax fraud, and he inherited the investigation into his relationship with Quir\u00f3n.<\/p>\n

\n Antonio Viejo took six months to authorize the Guardia Civil to investigate the businessman’s accounts. The UCO also wanted to scrutinize his tax information and Social Security data, but the magistrate closed the door on it. The agents consider it “indispensable” and of “great relevance,” and they regret that not having it “enormously complicates” the preparation of the report they have been tasked with and causes “harm” to the public interest and to the investigated parties because it unnecessarily prolongs the investigation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"You might be interested in Possible betrayal of Raphinha: his father would have swindled him out of a…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":148803,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[129],"tags":[5651,8873,383,16614,16866,2741,3220,738,8366,304,70130,4942,306,735,70131,21185,15346,36279],"class_list":["post-148802","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-pedro-sanchez","tag-and","tag-from","tag-government","tag-has","tag-his","tag-judge","tag-now","tag-of","tag-part","tag-pedro-sanchez","tag-prevented","tag-s","tag-sanchez","tag-the","tag-travelling","tag-was","tag-who","tag-wife"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@people\/116905731885493143","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/people\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/148802","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/people\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/people\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/people\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/people\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=148802"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/people\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/148802\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/people\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/148803"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/people\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=148802"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/people\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=148802"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/people\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=148802"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
