The businessman Javier López Madrid, former director of OHL, has admitted that he contacted Commissioner José Manuel Villarejo, but has rejected that he hired him to harass Dr. Elisa Pinto. This is how the manager spoke during his statement as a defendant in the trial that began this Monday against both of them in the National Court for a crime of bribery. “I did not give a single euro to Villarejo […] “I did not entrust anything to Mr. Villarejo,” he said after acknowledging that he did meet the police officer after a friend proposed it to him because he was suffering a campaign of telephone harassment.
“Over six or eight months, I received more than 1,500 calls. My wife as many, my children as many, my friends and my friends’ wives as many. I was the vortex of all those calls and I was in a situation of absolute personal and family anxiety. Every 10 minutes the phone rang and they said something outrageous to me, or they said it to my wife, my children or my friends…”, he defended himself at the oral hearing.
