Supreme Council of Military Justice

During the following years its structure changed, and the Royal Decree of 13 February 1878 named it the Supreme Council of War and Navy.

[4] This measure caused enormous unrest among the Armed Forces, who considered it an intrusion of civil power into the military sphere.

This new body, which was part of the Army Ministry,[7] recovered the powers of the former Supreme Council of War and Navy that had disappeared in 1931.

It was based in the Palace of Fontalba [es], on La Castellana in Madrid, which is now occupied by the Attorney General's office.

On 3 June 1982, the CSJM, chaired by Federico Gómez de Salazar,[9] issued a sentence against the military personnel who participated in the 1981 coup attempt (Case 2/81).
