David Sánchez, brother of the President of the Government, has already reached the Court of Badajoz where he declares before the instructor judge for his hiring as coordinator of the Pacenses of Music Conservatories, whose investigation also appreciates “indications of crime” in the award of the position of head of chief programs of cross -border activities to a former employee of the Ministry of Presidency.
In fact, the latter, Luis María Carrero, is also cited to declare as investigated, as well as the deputy of Culture of the Diputación de Badajoz, Ricardo Cabezas; The director of this same area, Manuel Candalija, and an orchestra director – as a witness – who opted to the position that was finally awarded to David Sánchez.
In a car issued on March 13, the instructor of the case and head of the Court of Instruction 3 of Badajoz, Beatriz Biedma, highlights the Post exchange held between David Sánchez and Luis María Carrero in October 2023, whose content could be understood that “Both were the incorporation” of the latter three weeks before the publication of the bases for the coverage of the headquarters of Cross -Broady Activities programs of the Pacense Diputación.
Carrero, whose appointment occurred at the end of December 2023, collaborated with David Sánchez on professional issues long before incorporation, “also deriving a very close personal relationship between them”, since this – the judge explains – addresses David Sánchez as “little brother.”
Before arriving at the Diputación de Badajoz, Carrero served in the message unit of the Department of Political Affairs, under the Ministry of the Presidency, between March 2020 and December 2023.
Possible crime of influence peddling
For all these reasons, the judge considers it necessary to investigate the possible crimes of influence peddling and prevarication committed allegedly by Luis María Carrero, who would have used the influence derived from his friendship with David Sánchez to achieve the creation and subsequent access to the position of head of the section of section of Centers and Programs of cross -border activities, and by the brother of the President of the Government.
The latter, in Biedma’s opinion, would have used its influence on the Badajoz Diputación to obtain both their own benefit, when getting the person who unofficially already helped him actively be hired and went to assist directly working with him in his same office, as well as for Carrero, who managed to access a position “created in order to be directly awarded by the form of provision of services.”
