After the Civil Guard's report became known, the PSOE has come out to defend Begoña Gómez. In a tweet, the party's official profile emphasizes that "there are no irregularities" in the management of the chair, "there is no illicit enrichment," and "there are no suspicious movements in her accounts." "What there is is an honest person whose life they want to destroy and attack the Spanish government. Two years of persecution and harassment that must end as soon as possible. The truth will prevail," they add.

Regulations for the creation of extraordinary chairs Alleged irregularities
Making Science Group
On the one hand, Making Science Group received 20,000 euros from the chair for the development of the backend, the part of a software that operates on the server and is not visible to the user. The Civil Guard argues that, since it exceeded the limit of 15,000 euros provided for minor contracts, it would have required an open contracting procedure, but emphasizes that – far from it – the contract was made "without even having processed an administrative file". Likewise, it refers to the report of the comptroller of the Complutense, who indicated that the provision of the service had been arranged "irregularly". "It details its management totally outside the regulations to be applied", concludes the UCO.
Deloitte Consulting
On the other hand, Deloitte Consulting received 79,000 euros in two contracts. These are two files that, according to the Civil Guard, "would have been drawn up as a mere administrative framework" intended to "lend an appearance of legality" to the contracting, which "would have been carried out outside the procedure established by the regulations". The report points out, for example, that the consultancy "had begun its functions" before the first contract was awarded, that the actual provision of services "did not bear any relation" to the formal deadlines and that the requirements and conditions demanded "were tailored to the predefined conditions" between Deloitte and the chair: "Offers would have been requested in a simulated manner or under conditions that led to a limitation of competition", it points out. For all these reasons, it maintains that the awards were "premeditated".
Intellectual property
Finally, it indicates that the persons responsible for the chair did not follow the "established protocol" by the Complutense in relation to the registration of "products susceptible of generating intellectual property rights".
No suspicious collections
In one of the annexes, the Civil Guard admits that the banking information it has analyzed from thirteen current accounts "corresponds" with the "development of the professional activities" of Begoña Gómez and that the entities with which she has worked "correspond to the main payers" that she has identified. Therefore, it has not detected any suspicious collection. "Regarding account charges, no movements are identified that could be related to the events," it adds.
However, the report indicates that Pedro Sánchez's wife assumed "certain expenses from her personal sphere" in favor of the software. Firstly, it mentions the registration of two trademarks, which cost a total of 357.64 euros. One of those payments, of 206.57 euros, was made from a card that Begoña Gómez shares with the Spanish president. Secondly, she registered the domain www.transformatsc.org for 118.58 euros. And, finally, she made two payments to Sandra Anfaiha, who was linked to the project in its final phase: on March 20, 2024, she paid her 106.88 euros – from a personal account – for "taxis" and on April 10, she paid her 3,570 euros – from her company's account— but in this case, the reason is unknown.
"Analogies" between the software and her company
The Civil Guard also notes the "links and analogies" of the chair's software with Begoña Gómez's "private-business environment". She was co-director of the chair and administrator and sole partner of the company Transforma TSC. They shared a name, object, and visible figure, but there are no "elements" that "officially link" the company with the chair. The UCO emphasizes that Transforma TSC "did maintain" commercial activity: in 2024 it received 6,700 euros from Innovación Hexagonal through two invoices.
