Judge Pedraz Separates Alleged Cash Delivery at PSOE HQ from Fuel Fraud Case
El juez Pedraz desvincula la supuesta entrega de dinero en Ferraz de Carmen Pano con la trama de hidrocarburos
Summary
Judge Santiago Pedraz has ruled that the alleged cash handover at the PSOE's Ferraz headquarters involving Carmen Pano is not connected to the wider hydrocarbon fraud network under investigation. The judge rejected calls to summon eight new witnesses and refused to order the identification of individuals who worked on the second floor of the Socialist party's Madrid headquarters. The ruling narrows the judicial scope of the case and limits further investigative avenues linked to the PSOE premises.
