Overview
- On Wednesday the Audiencia Nacional judge Santiago Pedraz authorised the UCO of the Guardia Civil to enter PSOE headquarters in Ferraz to obtain visitor logs for 36 specified dates and records tied to a 26-person list, and several senior party figures have been formally implicated in the SEPI-related probe.
- The Ferraz order cites meetings and quotations from court files that investigators say coincide with key moments in cases involving people close to the party, and the move has intensified scrutiny from coalition partners who say proven illegal financing would force them to seek early elections.
- Peru’s Contraloría published a control report that found procurement design flaws and evaluators’ misapplied criteria in an ONPE transport contract, concluded there was presumed criminal or administrative responsibility for 10 officials, and said those failures delayed deliveries and impaired the vote rights of 55,261 electors.
- Peruvian prosecutors have separately requested an indictment of presidential candidate Roberto Sánchez for alleged falsification of party contribution records, a step that must be resolved before the June 7 runoff and could carry criminal penalties and disqualification if upheld.
- In Santa Fe, provincial spokespeople defended a security reform package that expands police powers and permits warrantless weapons seizures, while critics and parts of the judiciary warn the measures risk overstepping the constitution and raising civil‑liberties concerns.
