The rector of the Complutense University joins the list of those investigated by Peinado who testifies without knowing what he is accused of

The rector of the Complutense University of Madrid, Joaquín Goyache, is to testify this Monday as a defendant in the case opened three months ago by Judge Juan Carlos Peinado against Begoña Gómez, wife of the President of the Government, for influence peddling and corruption in business. The indictment of Goyache is possible because the judge decided to extend his investigation to the hiring of Gómez by the university where he holds an extraordinary chair and because Peinado believes that Goyache himself in his statement and then two vice-rectors made statements that incriminate the rector, although in his summons the judge does not specify what they are.

Last Tuesday, Goyache sent a letter to the university community in which he expressed an uncertainty that the other two defendants, Begoña Gómez and the businessman Carlos Barrabés, have already conveyed to the judge or to his higher authority, the Madrid Court. “I do not know what facts are the subject of this investigation, nor what alleged criminal conduct is attributed to me,” the rector stated in the letter.
