A month and a half after a court admitted a lawsuit against the mayor of Barcelona, Ada Colau will appear in court. She stands accused of malfeasance, fraudulent hiring, embezzlement, influence peddling and prohibited negotiations. The plaintiff is an association which accuses Colau of having arbitrarily allocated money from City Council coffers to charities and campaign groups close to her party, including the Platform of People Affected by Mortgages (PAH), of which Colau was a founder and spokesperson.
