This is the cheating accusation that I have been forwarded by one of the team captains earlier this year:

Good morning:
Firstly, sorry for my poor level of english.
I'm member of AGOA, and AEGO for some years. I send this email to inform about some people that are cheating in the Spanish Team. This is happening for years, from season 2012-2013 to now. AEGO can't do anything because it's controlled by the same people who have the control on the Spanish Team. Juan Domingo Martín knows an sopports these AGOA's members.
The number of associated are declining every year. The last year they were 70 members. Of the these 70 members, some are friends of Jose Manuel Vega Gutierrez, the management table, and the don't play Go. They give their vote to these people who are cheating to get more votes and do whatever they want on AEGO.
In actuallity the situation is that associates of AEGO, who are disagree with Vega, are abandotating it. The rest of the Go's clubs don know what its happening about cheating and manipulation of the directives of AEGO and specially AGOA in Pandanet.
José Manuel Vega replaces Sabina Rodriguez Cabrera (his wife), in her games. Also he replaces to Raul Aguilera, and Rogelio Gomez.
Juan Domingo Martín Gomez is the captain of the spanish team, and he is the president of AEGO. He knows all that and he allows it.
Some members of the spanish team don't know about those irregularity, as: Miguel Pérez,Antonio Eloy Martin Ventura, Adrian Peregrin Domínguez.
Other members don't make cheatings but they know what's happening and they sopport it, , as: Jesus Roldan, Alvaro Gutiérrez.
For years AGOA is using the Go in Seville for personal benefit. And for more than a year they have been doing the same with the Go to the national level, destroying the Go in Spain, and affecting to the international game.

The author was anonymous and signed the message only as "Seville, Spain".
With the text I got forwarded also the accuser's email and, after obtaining permission to contact them directly, I asked for more data (among which, the KGS usernames of the players involved). I still think the anonymous could reveal their identity, at least to the EGF officials, in order to make the accusations more credible.
Since in another thread I promised that I would have published more detailed information if I couldn't make progress with my investigation and since the Spanish motion about letting only EGF members (national associations) publish tournament results on EGD passed, I'm making this public.
As far as I know, most Spanish clubs have written to the EGF explaining the problems they have with AEGO. I have a copy of the email, but I don't think I can share it, so someone involved will have to publish it.
By the way, I'm not the League Manager anymore, I resigned due to not having time to take care of my role as well as I'd like to. As you can see by the fact that the investigation hasn't been completed yet.
Link to the dropbox folder with some of the data I gathered: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/cx5z6qqw9u4q387/AABty0pHwYfvXgtxtGRrEdtma?dl=0
Contents:
- 19x19 KGS games played by Jose Manuel Vega, which I planned to use to establish his style and compare with the games questioned by the cheating accusation
- Sabina Rodriguez' tournament results; PGETC vs face to face tournaments
- The list of games questioned by the cheating accusation, plus some more information (KGS usernames, opponents' declared rank, etc.)
Pandanet never answered my emails asking about which data the server collects (I was hoping for IPs, though they wouldn't have been a proof).
If anyone is interested in pursuing this, feel free to use all the data.
