Overview
- The court concluded the 2011 assignment was a private investigation commissioned by the late businessman José Moya related to his dispute over Martinsa Fadesa.
- It found that more than €500,000 was paid to José Manuel Villarejo and his partner Rafael Redondo and that call-traffic data for several individuals were obtained.
- Both defendants were cleared of bribery, falsification of commercial documents, and the discovery and disclosure of secrets due to insufficient evidence of any use of official status.
- Anti-corruption prosecutors had sought an additional 23.5 years in prison for Villarejo and 19 years for Redondo in this case.
- Villarejo remains convicted in other Tándem pieces totaling 24 years, and at least one separate verdict in the broader saga is still pending.
