The former CEO of Juaneda, Juan Alguersuari, has been acquitted of a crime of disloyal administration after all charges against him were dropped this Monday. The trial, which was to be held at the Provincial Court of the Balearic Islands, was rendered ineffective at the start of the oral hearing.

The Patient Advocacy Association has requested that the Balearic Islands Prosecutor's Office investigate the regional government for the lack of beds in public hospital emergency departments. In a letter addressed to the deputy prosecutor, Adrián Salazar, the association argues that these actions could constitute a crime of dereliction of duty.

The new Attorney General of Spain, Teresa Peramato, announced this Thursday that Julio Cano, the current Chief Prosecutor of the Balearic Islands, will be the new head of the Technical Secretariat of the Attorney General's Office (FGE). Cano will replace Ana García de León at the head of a key body in the internal structure of the Public Prosecutor's Office. Peramato highlighted "the rigor, professionalism, and respect he commands among prosecutors." The announcement was made during Peramato's swearing-in ceremony at the Supreme Court, during which she delivered a speech marked by her advocacy for the fight against gender violence and the need to strengthen the institutional autonomy of the Public Prosecutor's Office. The new Attorney General, a leading figure in this area, called for a "clear and active stance" from all of society regarding sexual harassment and crimes against sexual freedom. Her speech focused on victims and the modernization of the Public Prosecutor's Office.

Peramato commemorated the 1,340 women murdered by their partners or ex-partners since 2003, and the 45 fatalities recorded this year. "The Public Prosecutor's Office must interpret the law with a deep understanding of the society it serves," she emphasized, stressing the need to strengthen the protection of victims and vulnerable groups such as children, the elderly, migrants, and people with disabilities. The new Attorney General also placed among her priorities the pending debate on the criminal procedure model, which proposes transferring the direction of investigations from judges to prosecutors. "It is a commitment to a more agile and accessible justice system," she asserted. A call for unity and references to the García Ortiz case

Without avoiding the crisis triggered by the Supreme Court's conviction of former Attorney General Álvaro García Ortiz—disqualified for revealing secrets—Peramato admitted that the case has been "a deep wound" for the institution. "It must heal, and I trust that it will with the effort of all prosecutors," he stated. He also expressed his appreciation for all his predecessors, and especially for García Ortiz, to whom he expressed "respect, admiration, and gratitude." More autonomy and a collective project

Peramato has called for a "more independent" Public Prosecutor's Office, with budgetary, digital, and organizational autonomy. He emphasized that the prosecution service—comprised of 2,804 professionals—is "powerful and committed," and he championed the role of the Fiscal Council and the Board of Senior Prosecutors in strategic decision-making. "We are a community, not an individual," he stressed, and argued that the future of the institution must be built "by listening, engaging in dialogue, and working together." An emotional ending

In a final, emotional segment, Peramato paid tribute to his 91-year-old mother, whom he described as "a tireless leader and worker." The speech, which also included quotes from Unamuno and Eleanor Roosevelt, concluded with a call to face the future "with renewal, courage, and the strength of shared dreams."

The GOB Mallorca environmental group has urged the Public Prosecutor's Office to open a criminal investigation into the poisoning of three red kites found this year. In a press release issued Tuesday, the environmental organization recalled that three dead kites were found in two hunting areas in February and March of this year, having ingested poisoned bait. The Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Natural Environment opened two disciplinary proceedings last September and forwarded the request to the Public Prosecutor's Office to open a criminal investigation. The environmentalists are also urging the Public Prosecutor's Office to open an investigation given the "seriousness" of the incidents and agree with the Ministry that there are "clear indications" of a possible wildlife crime. The red kite is a species listed as endangered in the Spanish Catalogue of Threatened Species, and, as has been pointed out, the use of poison is prohibited and constitutes a serious crime under the Penal Code, with prison sentences of up to two years and fines of up to €200,000. In their opinion, the death of these birds highlights the need to intensify investigations and the strict application of regulations to definitively eradicate the use of poison in the natural environment of the Balearic Islands. The GOB (Balearic Ornithological Group) has informed the Public Prosecutor's Office of its intention to appear as a private prosecutor in these poisoning cases in order to have access to the documentation generated and to provide, if the prosecutor deems it appropriate, all the information derived from the telemetry tracking of these birds.
