Overview
- The judgment signed on November 13 by magistrate María Luisa Barrio concludes that the evidence did not reach the certainty required for a criminal conviction.
- The court found that Oubiña’s phone contacts and two meetings in Vilanova de Arousa with Carlos de la Mata were insufficient to infer a role in supplying cocaine.
- Co-defendant José María A. M. was also acquitted of money laundering after the court accepted that an €11,000 transfer related to a legitimate vehicle sale.
- The same decision convicted around twenty other defendants of drug trafficking, criminal group membership, and money laundering, and it ordered the seizure of assets.
- The court lifted all precautionary measures against Oubiña and applied a highly qualified mitigation for undue delays after more than eight years of proceedings.
