A staff accountant at, the Spanish public agency responsible for digital transformation programs, has filed a police report alleging that a superior pressured her to modify and subsequently delete accounting records related to a contract awarded to a business group linked to Juan Carlos Barrabés. Barrabés is a businessman currently under investigation for his professional ties to Begoña Gómez, the wife of Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez. The accountant claims she was instructed to alter entries and then erase any digital trace of the changes, an act she found highly irregular and alarming.
According to the testimony, the accountant attempted to document the process by emailing her supervisor to clarify the nature of the reclassifications, noting that the operations spanned three different fiscal years. The supervisor allegedly responded by demanding the permanent deletion of the records, instructing her to provide no further reference to the file and simply confirm the task was complete with the phrase, "It is done." The situation reportedly escalated two days later when the superior requested a video call and asked the employee to share her computer screen, further heightening her concerns about the transparency of the agency's internal procedures.
The contracts in question are already under scrutiny by the Guardia Civil’s Central Operative Unit and the European Public Prosecutor’s Office. Investigators are examining whether these public tenders were improperly steered to favor Barrabés’s companies. The new allegations of document tampering add a significant layer to the ongoing judicial probe, as they suggest potential efforts to obstruct the investigation into whether the public bidding process was compromised.
As the investigation continues, the focus remains on the integrity of ’s administrative processes. The public agency, which manages significant digital infrastructure projects, now faces questions regarding its internal oversight and the potential for political influence in its procurement decisions. Authorities are expected to review the digital logs and internal communications to verify the accountant’s claims and determine if any criminal attempt was made to hide evidence related to the contracts.
