The National High Court has acquitted the retired ex-commissioner José Manuel Villarejo, his partner Rafael Redondo, and the businessman Javier López Madrid of the alleged commission that the latter would have made to Villarejo to harass the dermatologist Elisa Pinto.
Thus it is recorded by a ruling of the Fourth Section of the Criminal Chamber, which considers that it has not been proven that Villarejo or his business group, CENYT, "requested or received any payment from López Madrid" to carry out that alleged assignment.
Prosecutor's Office Backed Acquittal
The judicial resolution coincides with the criteria of the **Prosecutor's Office**, which did not file charges in the proceeding and, in its final report, requested the acquittal of the three defendants considering that **there was no evidence of the alleged payment for that assignment**During the process, the lawyer representing Pinto pointed out in her indictment that López Madrid was in CENYT's offices “several times” and that, in December 2013, she went with Redondo to the doctor's office with the intention of harassing her, which according to her version caused fear in Pinto.
