Spain's Attorney General Teresa Peramato has decided not to renew Almudena Lastra as top prosecutor for the Community of Madrid, replacing her with Isabel Martín. On Thursday, after the Fiscal Council, Peramato proposed several promotions, including allies of former Attorney General Álvaro García Ortiz. The Association of Prosecutors criticizes the appointments as vengeful.
Chile's Constitutional Court rejected lawyer Raimundo Palamara's appeal by nine votes to one, burying the probe into the failed state purchase of ex-president Salvador Allende's house. The ruling upholds the prosecutor's closure of the case in October 2025. Palamara decried the decision as a poor precedent in fighting corruption.
