The Central Operational Unit (UCO) of the Guardia Civil has put an end to Judge Juan Carlos Peinado's latest effort to investigate Air Europa in relation to the Begoña Gómez case. The judge had requested the UCO to explore whether any new evidence had emerged following a complaint from a private individual. However, the UCO's brief report indicated that no new facts justify reopening the inquiry, an endeavor that the Provincial Court of Madrid has already dismissed multiple times.

In the report accessed by El País, the UCO reiterated its findings, stating that there is no observable evidence that prompts the initiation of a new investigation focused on the airline. The request had stemmed from claims made by a private party alleging the existence of potentially illicit bank accounts linked to Begoña Gómez. Despite these allegations, the UCO emphasized that such claims did not provide sufficient grounds for further action.

This development is significant as it consolidates the previous rulings of the Madrid Provincial Court, which has consistently closed off paths for new investigations into the Begoña Gómez case. This not only poses questions about the viability of ongoing inquiries but also reflects the judicial system's current stance on handling allegations against parties embroiled in the scandal surrounding Air Europa. The closure of this avenue may pave the way for further scrutiny regarding the handling of such cases in the future.
