The head of the Court of Instruction number 6 of Navalcarnero has dismissed the reform appeal filed by the PSOE against the order that agreed to archive the investigation into the former mayor of Arroyomolinos and current PP deputy in the Assembly of Madrid, Ana Millán, for alleged anomalies in the awarding of municipal contracts when she was a councilor.
In a resolution dated July 23, which Europa Press has accessed, the magistrate rejects the request from the socialists to reopen the case and redirect it to abbreviated proceedings, understanding that it is not appropriate to prolong the instruction or continue with new inquiries.
The judge emphasizes that the Provincial Court of Madrid annulled the extension of the instruction agreed upon in September 2025 and that, consequently, the maximum investigation period concluded on September 25 of that year. Applying article 324 of the Criminal Procedure Law and the doctrine of the Supreme Court, she reasons that it is not possible to agree on a new extension once that period has expired.
In the same way, she argues that the PSOE's appeal does not manage to refute the criterion of the challenged order, which already appreciated the non-existence of sufficient indications of crimes of administrative prevarication, influence peddling, and bribery attributed to both Ana Millán and the other investigated.
The instructor highlights that the investigation phase has not provided "solid reasons" that allow for the continuation of the procedure, in coherence with the principle of presumption of innocence.
In relation to the proceedings requested by the PSOE, including the appearances of Juan Pedro S. C. and Laura V., the judge insists that they lack utility and relevance to clarify the facts.
She recalls that there is already a financial and tax analysis of the investigated parties in the case and a report from the Central Operational Unit (UCO) on the bank accounts of Ana Millán and Juan Pedro Santos, without it having been proven that the income of unknown origin received by the PP leader came from the other investigated, Francisco Vicente R. B.. She adds that Laura Vallejo has already testified before the Civil Guard and stated that she was unaware if Millán had an interest in awarding contracts to any specific company.
Accusations of a public contracts scheme
The PSOE's appeal described an alleged plot between the then councilor and businessman Francisco R., through which municipal contracts worth more than half a million euros would have been awarded to firms linked to the latter.
According to the document, those awards would have occurred between 2005 and 2011 from different areas of the City Council, with a presumed "decisive influence" of Millán in the contracting procedures.
The PSOE claimed that the dismissal was based on the decision of the Provincial Court of Madrid to annul an extension of the investigation, but emphasized that this resolution did not order the closure of the procedure, but merely corrected a defect in motivation.
In this regard, the party argued that the court should have issued a new properly reasoned extension or, at least, have carried out the pending proceedings before agreeing to the dismissal.
The party denounced that the court rendered already agreed-upon evidence ineffective, such as the statements of witnesses considered key, despite having been classified as "useful and pertinent" and endorsed by higher bodies.
In the PSOE's view, this decision was "incoherent," as it annulled actions aimed precisely at clarifying facts about which, in their opinion, there were indications.
