Among the accused in the GAL case is now Barrionuevo, former Minister of Interior under Felipe Gonzales, Spain's Prime Minister. The Congress passed at the and of November a petition from the supreme Court to be allowed to prosecute Barrionuevo. When this was passed the judge accused him of three crimes: illegal arrest (the kidnapping of the French citizen Segundo Marey); embezzlement of public money and having relations with armed groups - his bail was set at PTS80 millions. The PSOE (Socialist Party) paid for his bail and have included Barrionuevo as a candidate on the lists for the elections in March 1996, a move criticized by all of the other political groups.
