The Provincial Court of Badajoz has urgently requested David Sánchez Pérez-Castejón, the brother of Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, to provide his actual address as he is involved in a trial concerning accusations of influence peddling and malpractice. This judicial request comes ahead of a significant trial set to take place in May, where David Sánchez and ten others are accused of irregular contracting practices related to the Badajoz Provincial Council.

The urgency of this request is heightened by previous actions in which David Sánchez failed to disclose his habitual residence, which is required for official notifications and communication from the court. His attempts to mask his address have raised eyebrows, especially given the high-profile nature of the case due to his familial ties to the Prime Minister. This case could have broader implications for political accountability and ethical governance in Spain.

Additionally, the court has dismissed a recusal request against the tribunal handling the case, implying confidence in the judicial process despite potential political pressures. As the trial date approaches, the scrutiny on not only David Sánchez but also the associated political figures and their influence within the judiciary will likely intensify, focusing public attention on the integrity of political practices in Spain.
