Judge recommends trial for Alcalá de Henares mayor over leak of sexual assault complaints

elperiodicomediterraneo.com (Spanish)

A Spanish judge has recommended trying Judith Piquet, mayor of Alcalá de Henares, for allegedly leaking confidential documents containing two sexual assault complaints linked to migrants. The case stems from January 2024, when Piquet publicly said the complaints described the attacker as a young Black male. She allegedly sent a police report photo to Alfonso Serrano, Madrid PP secretary general, who published it on X. The remarks followed a visit by regional president Isabel Díaz Ayuso after altercations involving migrants at a reception center. The PSOE demands Piquet's resignation, calling the leak a xenophobic hoax to protect Ayuso.
