A court in Palma is investigating a case at the EBAP (Basque School of Public Administration) for alleged administrative misconduct.
The magistrate requires the EBAP to explain the index of the file and provide the evaluations of the applicants, while summoning those under investigation and collecting reports on a traffic accident linked to the case.
PalmThe Court of Instruction number 3 of Palma has opened new proceedings as part of an investigation into an alleged crime of administrative misconduct related to the processing of a file at the Balearic School of Public Administration (EBAP). The presiding magistrate has issued a ruling that seriously questions the documentation provided by the EBAP and orders several requests and appearances. According to the court order, file 7/2023 submitted to the court includes an index that is not formally part of the administrative procedure, but rather contains comments and assessments of the documents, without indicating who prepared it or any signature to guarantee its authorship. For this reason, the court requires the Secretary General of the EBAP, Antonio Tomás Gelabert, to appear in court and provide information on the identity of the person who prepared the index, whether it is officially part of the file, and why it is not signed.
Furthermore, the judge points out that the file does not contain the evaluation of the admitted applicants, even though this is mandatory according to the internal instructions governing the procedure, a fact that had already been expressly requested by the court. In this regard, she demands that the EBAP (Basque School of Public Administration) provide this part of the documentation or, if it does not exist, formally certify that these evaluations were not carried out and identify those responsible for both processing the file and evaluating the candidates.
The order also forwards the documentation sent by the General Secretariat of the Ministry of the Presidency, on behalf of the Minister, and requires it to report within five days on the measures adopted in relation to AGM, who is under investigation in the case and was the driver involved in a traffic accident, as well as on its progress.
In parallel, the court has requested the Palma Local Police and the Traffic Division of the Civil Guard to submit the complete police report—or a detailed report—of the accident that occurred on May 14, 2024, near Palma Airport, in which the individual was involved. The insurance company AXA has also been asked to provide all documentation related to the accident, including the recording of the call requesting the tow truck and the expert reports.
Procedurally, the court has summoned JMR, the complainant who initiated the case, to testify, along with the Public Prosecutor. His appearance is scheduled for March 18, 2026. AJG and AGM have also been summoned as suspects and will have to testify on March 24. The case remains open, and the agreed-upon proceedings will clarify whether the principles of legality, objectivity, and transparency required of the public administration were violated during the processing of the administrative file.
