It was supposed to be a big celebratory lunch for a Spanish judge advocate colonel who was being transferred to the reserves, but it has turned into a years-long (and continuing) legal battle because the honoree used the occasion as an opportunity to criticize the Ministry of Defense for not appointing the honoree to a particular important prosecutorial position.

The case is now before the Military Chamber of the Supreme Court a second time. El Confidencial Digital has the story here [use Google Translate if you do not read Spanish].
