The legal investigation into David Sánchez, the musician brother of the prime minister and known in his professional circle as David Azagra, moved up a gear this week, further agitating the national political scene.

Judge Beatriz Biedma decided on Thursday to go ahead with a trial against Sánchez, the president of the Badajoz provincial authority - Miguel Ángel Gallardo, and nine other people.

The judge sees sufficient evidence of possible corrupt practice and influence peddling over the PM's brother being awarded a public-sector job in Badajoz.
