The General Council of the Judiciary opens an investigation into the investigating judge of the former Deputy Director of Operations for possible disrespect in comments about gender violence

The General Council of the Judiciary (CGPJ) has initiated disciplinary proceedings against David Maman, a judge presiding over a Madrid court specializing in violence against women. The action follows allegations of inappropriate conduct regarding comments made by the judge during his oversight of a sexual assault case involving José Ángel González, the former Deputy Operational Director (DAO) of the National Police.

The investigation focuses on whether the judge displayed a lack of professional consideration or bias in his remarks concerning women. The disciplinary measure marks a significant development in the ongoing legal proceedings surrounding the former police official, as the judiciary examines the conduct of the presiding magistrate.
