Biography

Espejel was born on 15 September 1959 in Madrid.[1] She joined the judicial career in 1983,[2] after passing a (minor) public examination to the post of district judge.[3] She had Vinaroz, Valls and Reus as early destinations.[2] From 1987 to 2008, she worked as magistrate in the provincial audiencias of Tarragona, Segovia and Guadalajara.[2] In Guadalajara, she assumed the pre-trial investigation on the Шаблон:Ill.[4]

She served as member of the General Council of the Judiciary (CGPJ) during the 2008–2013 term.[2][4] After her spell at the CGPJ, she returned to the judicial career and entered the Audiencia Nacional.[5]

She was recused (at least 6 times) of procedures related to the Gürtel case because of her proximity to the People's Party (alongside fellow magistrate Enrique López).[6][7] In 2017, the CGPJ elected her nonetheless to lead the Criminal Chamber of the Audiencia Nacional, in replacement of Fernando Grande-Marlaska.[8][5] As president of said chamber, she participated in the trial of the so-called Altsasu case, which was eventually taken to the Strasbourg Court in order to determine if the accused had a fair trial.[9]

In October 2021, after a tentative deal struck between the national government and the opposition, she was reported to be one of the incoming members of the Constitutional Court.[10] The Congress of Deputies approved her nomination on 11 November 2021[11] and was appointed on 17 November.[12] She was sworn in the following day.[13]
