Judge Corrects Error in Begoña Gómez Investigation
updated may 30, 2025
Judge Juan Carlos Peinado acknowledged a mistake in the ongoing investigation involving Begoña Gómez.In a recent order, Peinado clarified that his request for a report from the State Governance (IGAE) was intended for Innova Next, not Globalia, the parent company of Air Europa.
The judge had previously requested a report on Globalia, the airline that received a €475 million pandemic rescue. He now states the request is actually for details on Innova Next, a company owned by businessman Juan Carlos Barrabés.Barrabés’s company is under scrutiny for public contracts awarded and is central to the case.
The judge is complying with orders from the Provincial Court of Madrid by setting aside part of his investigation due to a lack of evidence. He is also abandoning the investigation into the Air Europa rescue. The initial complaint alleged that Gómez favored the airline because of her relationship with Globalia’s owners through the Institute of Business (IE).
UCO agents refuted these suspicions, stating in a report that “there is no record” that Sánchez’s wife’s attendance at two events with Javier Hidalgo, Globalia’s former CEO, ”could be linked to the ministerial decision of the rescue.”
