The Supreme Court has opened a criminal process against the ex Development Minister, José Blanco, in the so-called Campeón Case.

Blanco faces charges of influence peddling and bribery in the case which comes out from the investigations judge, Estela San José, from Instruction Court 3 in Lugo, who presented her report to the prosecutor at the end of November, suggesting the case be continued. Several businessmen have accused the ex Minister of carrying out efforts in their favour in exchange for money.

The instructing judge in the Supreme Court will be the magistrate, José Ramón Soriano.

The highest judicial authority is Juan José Martín Casallo, following the Attorney General, Cándido Conde-Pumpido, excusing himself from the case given his friendship with Blanco.

Blanco commented on Wednesday night, ‘I have the security that the investigation is going to clarify the false accusations’.
