The lawyer of the complainant against the former head of the police assures that he will provide audio recordings and conversations to the judge this Friday

The lawyer for the complainant against former police chief José Ángel González will submit audio evidence and conversations to the judge this Friday to support claims of sexual assault.

Jorge Piedrafita, the lawyer representing the agent who has accused former police deputy director José Ángel González of sexual assault, announced plans to submit key evidence to the court on Friday. This will include three audio recordings, one of which was made at the time of the alleged assault, and lists of calls and messages that the lawyer believes will prove the occurrence of the assault and subsequent threats made against the complainant.

Piedrafita expressed confidence that the evidence could lead to significant developments in the case not only against González but also regarding any individuals who might have been complicit in hiding or enabling the alleged crime. He firmly stated that the investigation would pursue accountability for all involved, affirming, "We will act against everyone, no matter who falls."

This case has stirred considerable interest in Spain, as it involves a high-ranking police official and raises broader questions about institutional accountability in cases of sexual misconduct. The outcome of this investigation could have significant implications for public trust in law enforcement and the progress of the #MeToo movement in Spain, particularly regarding the treatment of sexual assault claims within powerful institutions.
