Matthew Perry’s former personal assistant, Kenneth Iwamasa, was sentenced this Wednesday by a Los Angeles judge to three years and five months in federal prison for injecting the Friends star with several doses of ketamine, the drug that caused his death on October 28, 2023.
The Minister of Transport, the socialist Óscar Puente, spoke out this Friday about the CJEU rulings that the day before endorsed the amnesty. “They are very serious, not only because they highlight the legal error made by the Supreme Court or the National Court when arguing that the Amnesty law violates community law, which had no basis, but because they prove that there is a part of the judiciary in Spain that does not respect the legitimacy of the legislative power, and believes it is above it to say what can or cannot be legislated,” he warned on RNE.
Manuel Villar is the deputy mayor of Alicante and the person appointed to chair the commission that, by unanimous decision of the municipal plenary, was established to try to clarify the circumstances that led to the irregular awarding of public housing in Alicante. Yesterday, in response to questions from this newspaper, after four sessions of a commission in which only one retired official has testified, Villar admitted that it will be the ongoing judicial investigation that clarifies what happened. Because although he maintains that the government team is doing the right thing, he did not even commit his own cooperation: Villar assured that he will appear – it would be strange for the president of the commission to be absent only to not appear – because Vox has requested it, but then he stated that “it is another matter whether I will respond.”

José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero would have used his private residence “for sensitive dealings and receipt of shipments.” This is evident from the case file, accessed by La Vanguardia, in which Zapatero is being investigated as the alleged leader of “an influence trafficking network.” The judge of the National Court José Luis Calama has summoned the former Prime Minister to testify on June 2 to provide explanations about the alleged kickbacks that the network would have collected for the bailout of the airline Plus Ultra, approved by the Council of Ministers in March 2021 for 53 million euros.
The river had been sounding for some time. The name of the “plumber” Leire Díez had started to rumble. the PSOE reduced her to a mere militant. They expelled her and, with that, they thought that once the dog was dead, the rage was over. The greater denial was made, no one knew who this woman was who had held various positions of responsibility in public companies. The imprisonment of the then party organization secretary, Santos Cerdán, in June 2025 made the river sound louder, but Díez’s arrest in December – ordered by the National Court judge Santiago Pedraz – only made things worse for the formation led by Pedro Sánchez for a simple reason: from that very moment the UCO had her phone. Five months later, suspicions have come to light. Pedraz has uncovered a plot, led by Cerdán, whose objective was to destabilize judicial processes affecting the PSOE, the Government, or the president’s family. And all their activities would have been paid with false invoices by Ferraz – the party headquarters –.

The vast majority – more than 9,000 – were people aged 65 or older, according to data published by EuroMOMO, a network supported by the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control and the WHO. Extreme heat can cause death by exacerbating, especially, cardiovascular and respiratory diseases, with older people being the most vulnerable. However, some experts point out that some of the deaths related to high temperatures are actually due to pollution.
