Madrid Court Orders Investigation into Begoña Gómez's Complaint Against Vito Quiles
Listen to the story
A court in Madrid has made a new decision. The court is called the Audiencia de Madrid. It said yes to an appeal by Begoña Gómez.
Begoña Gómez made a complaint before. She said that Vito Quiles used coercion against her. Coercion means forcing someone to do something.
A judge looked at her complaint. The judge decided to stop the case. This is called a dismissal.
Begoña Gómez did not agree. She sent an appeal to a higher court. The higher court is the Audiencia de Madrid.
Now the Audiencia de Madrid has said she was right. The court has ordered a new investigation. This means police and judges will look at the complaint again.
There was also talk about a false complaint case against Begoña Gómez. This new decision is good news for her.
The investigation will check if Vito Quiles really coerced Begoña Gómez. We do not know the final result yet.
