SpainThe Permanent Commission of the General Council of the Judiciary has decided by majority to refer two disciplinary proceedings against Judge Juan Carlos Peinado to the High Court of Justice of Madrid (TSJM) for evaluation. These proceedings involve potential minor infractions related to questioning the work of state security forces and causing unjustified delays in processing a case. The decision was made under Article 421.1 of the Organic Law of the Judiciary (LOPJ), which assigns responsibility for issuing warnings and fines for minor infractions to the presidents of the High Courts of Justice. Four judges from the conservative faction dissented. Additionally, the commission considered closing four other complaints against Peinado, though this remains pending.
