SpainThe Spanish Public Prosecutor's Office has filed charges against former mayor José María González 'Kichi' of Cádiz, accusing him of abuse of power and disclosure of confidential information related to his role as an advisor to his political party in 2018. The prosecution seeks a fine of €10,800 and three years of disqualification from holding office for repeated disclosure of secrets, along with 15 years of disqualification from elected positions for repeated abuse of power. Similar penalties are requested for four other municipal officials involved. The case centers on an advisor contracted by the ruling party, who allegedly had continuous access to restricted information due to direct orders from the mayor and other officials. Prosecutors argue this individual issued instructions to experienced municipal employees, which were treated as mandatory directives, despite lacking formal authority.
