Overview
- The Universidad Complutense de Madrid (UCM) has identified 9,800 previously unknown projects connected to the Chair of Social Competitive Transformation, co-directed by Begoña Gómez, wife of Spain’s Prime Minister.
- On April 14, a representative of Devoteam contacted UCM about continuing two unregistered projects, prompting further scrutiny into the chair's operations.
- UCM has informed Judge Juan Carlos Peinado, who is overseeing the corruption investigation, and provided details about the unregistered projects and external collaborations.
- The chair, which was dissolved, has been criticized for its lack of oversight, with reports of financial dealings involving students and small enterprises that bypassed university knowledge.
- An internal investigation has been launched by UCM to address governance gaps and assess the origins and management of the uncovered projects.
