PP launches website mapping 15 judicial cases around Sánchez, claims potential of 1,817 years in prison

The People's Party has published a website cataloguing what it calls an unprecedented scandal involving 15 judicial cases, 94 investigated individuals and 19 types of crimes, all linked to the Prime Minister's circle.

The Spanish People's Party (PP) launched a website on 14 June 2026, latramapsoe.es, designed to map what it describes as "the corruption of the PSOE." The portal compiles information on 15 separate judicial proceedings that touch figures from the government, the Socialist Party, the family of Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, and former Prime Minister José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero. The PP says the cases collectively involve 94 people under investigation, one convicted individual, 17 formally charged, and 76 under preliminary inquiry.

The scale of the allegations

The PP claims the 15 proceedings span 19 types of offences, including criminal organisation, tax fraud, money laundering, bribery, influence peddling, embezzlement of public funds, administrative malfeasance, disclosure of secrets, fraud, misappropriation, business corruption and smuggling. According to the party, the penalties requested by prosecutors and private accusations across the various dossiers could reach a combined 1,817 years of imprisonment.

The data show the scale and seriousness of a scandal that affects the Executive, the Socialist Party, Pedro Sánchez's family and even former Prime Minister José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero.

Who is named

The website lists several prominent figures. The so-called Koldo case implicates former Transport Minister José Luis Ábalos and former PSOE Organization Secretary Santos Cerdán. Separate proceedings involve Begoña Gómez, the prime minister's wife; David Sánchez, his brother; ex-Attorney General Álvaro García Ortiz; and Leire Díez. The PP draws a direct line to the prime minister.

As the investigations reveal, there is a common denominator uniting this entire criminal organization: Pedro Sánchez.

A week of court appearances

The PP timed the launch for a week heavy with judicial and parliamentary activity. Begoña Gómez is due to appear before Judge Peinado on 15 June. The director of the Civil Guard, Mercedes González, will testify on 16 June before the Senate Interior Committee about her meetings with Leire Díez. Zapatero will face Judge José Luis Calama on 17 and 18 June; the judge recently expanded his indictment to include a tax crime and a contraband charge linked to jewellery valued at 1.3 million euros found in his Ferraz office.
