Pablo Ruz

Pablo Rafael Ruz Gutiérrez (born Madrid, 1975) is a Spanish judge. He is best known for his part in investigating the Gurtel corruption scandal (previously handled by Baltasar Garzón and Antonio Pedreira) and the related Barcenas affair.

He was educated at Comillas Pontifical University. In 2008, while still in his 20s, he was appointed to Spain's central criminal court, the Audiencia Nacional, on a temporary basis. He was re-appointed in 2010, filling the vacancy left by Baltasar Garzón.[1] Although the appointment was again on an interim basis,[2] he served there until 2015,[3] when he took up a position in Móstoles.
