The 13 indications of embezzlement with the 'software' of the Complutense University that sink Begoña Gomez

The article discusses allegations of misuse of software developed under the Universidad Complutense (UCM) by Begoña Gómez, wife of Spain's Prime Minister. The software was initially intended for a platform aimed at evaluating social and environmental objectives of small businesses. However, there are indications that Gómez used her position to divert this intellectual property to her personal benefit. Five judges from the Provincial Court have identified thirteen signs of wrongdoing related to the software, which they consider strong enough to move forward with legal proceedings. These findings were compiled by Judge Juan Carlos Peinado, whose conclusions were not disputed in this particular aspect. The court has not dismissed the charge of abuse of power against Gómez but has instead classified it under the more severe offense of embezzlement. The software was registered under a domain not linked to the UCM, and Gómez allegedly failed to inform the university of her actions, leading to claims of damages.
