The lawyer of the agent who has denounced the former deputy operational director of the Police, José Ángel González, has assured that he will provide the court this Friday, electronically, three audios – one recorded at the time of the reported rape – and lists of calls and conversations that would demonstrate the sexual assault and subsequent coercion. In statements to Efe, the lawyer Jorge Piedrafita has stated that he will provide “all the evidence” and that the judge has demanded of him.
The lawyer trusts that this evidence will advance the investigation against González and any other person involved “by action or omission,” including “whoever tried to cover it up.” “There will be action against everyone, no matter who falls,” he assured.
The existence of the complaint against González emerged last Tuesday in the media, half an hour after they found out at the Ministry of the Interior.

The Government, headed by President Pedro Sánchez, has supported the work of the Ministry and has assured that it has acted with “empathy” towards the victim. and he has responded that he will only resign if the complainant has not felt protected.
The complaint, which has already been admitted for processing in a Madrid court, details the content of the conversations that will now be contributed to the procedure. According to the lawyer, Commissioner Óscar San Juan, a trusted man of González who, like the first, has been relieved of his position for allegedly coercing the victim, participates in one of those recordings.
This Friday, the complainant’s lawyer also spoke in La Sexta about the court case. After hearing González’s statements in OkDiario, in which he states that he is “innocent,” the lawyer has limited himself to pointing out that the former police chief “exercises the right to lie, which has everything investigated.” Regarding the recordings, Piedrafita has asserted that “they are protected.” And he has insisted that in the audios it is clear that there is no consent: “It is not clear and clear.”
the lawyer has reiterated that the complainant has suffered “a hunt to harm and discredit her,” with publications referring to her personal life. As he has defended, the majority are “falsehoods or half-truths.”
Likewise, Piedrafita has confirmed to Efe that on Thursday the complainant met with chief commissioner Gemma Barroso, who has assumed the position of acting police chief after González’s resignation. And he has pointed out that. Regarding this point, she has insisted that it is necessary because “her identity has been leaked” and she wants to protect her integrity and that of her family.
The lawyer has explained that he has “suspicions” that there are more women in his situation, although without names or surnames, since “the way of working “It was very studied, greased to execute it” and it is something that is commented on. Given this possibility, he encourages any victim to report it to “end impunity.”
