The Málaga Provincial Court has instructed the presiding judge to activate a national and international arrest warrant against the former managers of Málaga CF and three of their children, in order to ensure their presence at trial.

This judicial measure arises from the lack of cooperation from those involved in the process, who, after learning the news, have chosen to maintain a low profile on social media, publishing cryptic messages without directly addressing the legal situation. The strategy of the former managers has been to ignore the judicial process, despite repeated requests from the courts.
The decision by the Provincial Court, which comes after the judge initially rejected the Prosecutor's Office's request, does not necessarily seek the imprisonment of those involved, but rather to force a change in their attitude and facilitate the holding of the oral trial. The slowness of rogatory commissions and the uncertainty about the whereabouts of the accused have been key factors in issuing this order.
Currently, the management of Málaga CF is led by José María Muñoz, who heads NAS Spain 2000, the entity owning almost 97% of the club's shares. Although he is no longer the judicial administrator of the instrumental company that holds the majority of the share capital, his role remains fundamental to the stability of the sports institution.

"It is agreed to issue a national and international arrest warrant, using the OEDE form for the international one, while the issued rogatory commission is completed, given that there is no certainty of the whereabouts of the accused."

The lack of certainty regarding the domicile of those involved and the failure of previous notifications have led the justice system to consider this measure as indispensable to guarantee the physical appearance of the accused and avoid delays in the judicial process affecting the Andalusian club.
