Judge Juan Carlos Peinado has agreed to refer the separate legal piece concerning businessman Juan Carlos Barrabés to the European Public Prosecutor's Office. The action involves alleged irregularities in a contract funded by European funds and awarded by Red.es.
The magistrate's decision follows instructions from the Madrid Provincial Court, which directed the transfer of the case facts to the Public Prosecutor. This specific contract had previously been unsuccessfully requested by the European body before finally being sent back.
The proceedings are part of the broader legal investigation tied to Begoña Gómez, wherein Barrabés has faced scrutiny over public contracting procedures.
