Overview
- A Seville court has opened pre-trial proceedings against Gustavo Fuentes, CEO of Andalucía Digital Multimedia (ADM), and has cited him to testify on June 25 in an investigation handled by the Violence against Women section.
- The judicial file stems from a complaint filed in January by a former ADM reporter that alleges sexual aggression, repeated sexual harassment and workplace mobbing and includes WhatsApp message records covering multiple years.
- ADM’s board has suspended Fuentes’ functions temporarily while compliance reviews continue, after adopting earlier precautionary measures in early June to limit his role in personnel and certain economic decisions.
- Radio y Televisión de Andalucía (RTVA/Canal Sur) convened its Equality Commission, said its anti‑harassment protocol applies to external suppliers, and paused any internal administrative case while the courts handle the matter.
- The case has triggered political pressure because the Junta de Andalucía holds roughly 47–48% of ADM through Sandetel, opposition parties have demanded explanations, and Fuentes has publicly denied the allegations and says he will prove his innocence.
