UCO reveals payments to Begoña Gomez from company with UCM software

Published on May 26, 2026 | Translated from Spanish

The Central Operative Unit of the Civil Guard has uncovered a new chapter in the investigation into Begoña Gómez. According to the report, her company received payments from a firm that, at the same time, used software developed by the Complutense University of Madrid under an agreement. A conflict of interest that is now under judicial scrutiny.

The university software that billed twice 🧾

The computer program in question was created under an agreement between the UCM and a private entity. Technical reports indicate that the tool optimized data management processes. The company benefiting from the software issued invoices to Gómez's company, while the UCM provided the human and technical resources for its development. The investigation seeks to determine whether there were undeclared compensations or diversion of public funds towards private activity.

When the software settles accounts... and invoices 💻

It seems the computer program not only processed data but also processed payments with enviable accuracy. While the company used the software for free or at low cost, Gómez's company received paid invoices. Something like having a friend who lends you the car but charges you for parking. The UCO, with its magnifying glass, is trying to clarify whether the university agreement was a bargain or simply an exercise in creative accounting.
