David Sánchez, brother of Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, is under scrutiny for alleged irregularities in his role at the Diputación de Badajoz.

A judge is investigating whether his position and that of a former Moncloa employee, Luis Carrero, were improperly created and assigned.

Emails suggest a close relationship between Sánchez and Carrero, raising questions about favoritism.

Sánchez’s lawyer has criticized the investigation as baseless and overly speculative.

The case has sparked debate over potential misuse of public office, with Sánchez resigning from his post last week.

The investigation continues, focusing on the nature of their professional ties and the hiring process.
