The Prosecutor's Office criticizes Judge Peinado for his haste in the 'Begoña Gómez case': "It is neither desirable nor acceptable to bypass the professionals"

The Madrid Provincial Prosecutor's Office has formally criticized Judge Juan Carlos Peinado regarding his conduct during the investigation into Begoña Gómez. The Public Ministry expressed disapproval of the judge's procedural speed, specifically citing the scheduling of a preliminary hearing on September 8, which the prosecution argues was handled with an unacceptable level of haste that bypassed standard professional protocols and the involvement of the parties concerned.

This critique follows the recent retirement of Judge Peinado, who concluded his tenure last weekend. The Prosecutor's Office documented these objections in writing, asserting that the judge's actions were neither desirable nor acceptable, as they effectively sidelined the legal professionals involved in the case.
