Spanish politician's brother was paid without working and won't return the money

The brother of a Spanish Socialist politician was paid without working in a post created just for him
The case seems straight out of a textbook: a relative of a PSOE (Spanish Socialist Party) leader was hired for a position created specifically for him, with no record of him doing any work. The public money was paid out. And it has not been returned. The justice system, however, has not lifted a finger. Or at least that is what those trinc the case in critical circles claim.
The story, which is spreading strongly in spaces outside the traditional media, adds a second chapter: the same politician is said to have used the Falcon jet for private trips, saving the cost of the ticket while the State paid for the fuel. The sense of impunity is reinforced by repeated complaints that the institutions shield their own officials. "The institutions lie," reads one of the comments, reflecting growing exasperation. Against this outrage, there are hardly any voices downplaying the matter. One isolated message questions whether the issue matters, but most point to a systemic problem.
With these accusations on the table, the erosion of institutional trust is evident. But without a formal investigation detailing the amounts and the responsibilities, the affair risks becoming just another anecdote in the long list of scandals without consequences. It remains to be seen whether public pressure can achieve what the justice system, so far, has not.
