One day after his statement before the judge of the National Court, Víctor de Aldama has enjoyed his first hours in freedom. At his appearance, the businessman left no puppet with a head and accused several members of the PSOE and the Government of charging illegal commissions, something that has set off alarm bells.
With Aldama now free, ‘Everything is a lie’ has connected live with the magistrate Joaquim Bosch to learn a little more about the whole issue that is turning current Spanish politics upside down.
Joaquim Bosch has explained why Víctor de Aldama has been released from preventive detention: ”As a procedural matter, there is a principle, the adversary that says that if no accusation requests a sentence that is in prison, the judge automatically has to shorten the provisional prison.”
”The reason for which he was in prison is secret and if the Prosecutor’s Office does not express interest in his remaining in prison, the judge has to agree to his release,” he explains and reveals why he believes the Prosecutor’s Office has accepted freedom : ”The most likely thing is that a pact has been produced in which in exchange for acknowledging some facts, the Prosecutor’s Office allows him to be released.”
On the other hand, it explains What legal effects does it have? a confession from an accused: ”We must always evaluate with great caution what an investigator says in order to incriminate other people. An investigator is not an impartial witness.”
Furthermore, he indicates that the most common thing is that when there is a statement from an investigated person it is because “he has had time to prepare his intervention and the evidentiary elements”: “Sometimes there are people who affirm things and they may have happened, but they don’t. They can always be demonstrated. According to Aldama, that doesn’t happen here. He says yes he has the evidence. “We have to wait to see if they show up.”
