Fernando Grande-Marlaska Gómez (Spanish pronunciation: [feɾˈnando ˈɣɾande maɾˈlaska]; born 26 July 1962) is a Spanish judge and politician who has served as minister of the Interior since June 2018. An independent politician close to the Spanish Socialist Workers' Party, he has been Member of the Congress of Deputies from 2019 to 2020, and briefly from August to December 2023, representing Cádiz.
Grande-Marlaska is a well-known judge since the early 2000s for his time at the Audiencia Nacional, where he tried several members of the Basque terrorist group ETA and he led the trial that followed the Yak-42 accident, among other relevant cases. He also served as Member of the General Council of the Judiciary —the governing body of the Spanish judiciary— from 2013 to 2018.
