Peinado, to the right

June 5 2024 (13:27 WEST)

The judicial body that under number 41 performs criminal investigation functions in the jurisdiction of the Community of Madrid, is headed by his most illustrious lordship, Don Juan Carlos Peinado.

His Most Illustrious Lordship, in theory, is not to blame for the fact that the Standing Committee of the General Council of the Judiciary (CGPJ) has extended his exercise of the judiciary until the age of 72 -when he turns 70 next September- and even less for the fact that the governing body of the judges is made up, for the most part, of members appointed at the proposal of the Popular Party; a body hijacked by his colleagues for more than five years.

His Most Illustrious Lordship, in theory, is not to blame for having acceded to the judicial career through the so-called "fourth shift", almost 30 years ago.

His Most Illustrious Lordship, in theory, is not to blame for the fact that, having declared, in his day, the secrecy of the preliminary proceedings affecting Mrs. Begoña Gómez, while they remained under that procedural situation, they became one of the most public in judicial history with literal disclosure, even, of copies of some of its resolutions.

An unwritten rule: do not make judicial times coincide with political times

His Most Illustrious Lordship, is to blame for ignoring the unwritten rule, but practiced by the Spanish judicial bodies, of not issuing resolutions making judicial times coincide with political times, when those could interfere or influence electoral processes, mediating the orientation of the vote.

His Most Illustrious Lordship, is to blame for ignoring the concept of the guarantee of apparent impartiality and its objective loss, despite the concurrence in him of political-family circumstances that would have advised him to refrain from instructing the preliminary proceedings of reference.

His Most Illustrious Lordship, is responsible for ignoring that the Spanish judicial bodies have issued resolutions in which, repeatedly and peacefully, determine that those complaints or accusations that are based on mere clippings of published news should be rejected a limine, since criminal investigation that has the character of prospective is not allowed.

His most illustrious lordship, in theory, is not to blame, for not knowing how to add or subtract, because there is no other explanation that on June 4 a statement is agreed for July 5, that is, 32 days in advance, also ordering that the citation of the investigated be carried out personally by the judicial police at an address well known throughout Spain.

His Most Illustrious Lordship, is to blame for not knowing who Mrs. Begoña Gómez is and that on June 9 a voting day is scheduled to be held on the occasion of the European elections.

His Iustrísima Lordship, should know that the Prosecutor's Office or any part of the judicial procedure of criminal order can choose the remedy of reform against the dictation of an order before the same judge and then make use of the appeal before the Provincial Court, or appeal directly to the superior body.

The postponement of criminal judicial proceedings is common

His Most Illustrious Lordship, should also know that it is common to request the postponement of criminal judicial proceedings to be practiced by the parties involved, when prior to the dictation of the resolution in which those were ordered, another one had already been dictated in the same jurisdiction that made it impossible for both the defense or accusation to attend, and that this is legally foreseen. Likewise, he should know that anyone affected by a criminal procedure when he appoints a lawyer does so depositing in him all his trust and for him to be the one who acts, and not a colleague of the office, in the event that he had one, who is present in the practice of the proceedings that occur during the processing of the procedure.

His Most Illustrious Lordship, very strangely in this case, is annoyed because the Prosecutor's Office has acted with celerity in the exercise of the functions entrusted to it in its organic statute, when it is what all legal operators want.

In short, his most illustrious lordship does have all the responsibility for his judicial feather being so noticeable, making himself heard with indecent procedural maneuvers that betray him shamelessly, judicially speaking, and of course we Spaniards are not to blame for the fact that individuals of the style of his most illustrious lordship D. Juan Carlos Peinado wear robes with cuffs.
