The Court of Instruction in charge of investigating the complaint filed by Begoña Gómez, wife of the President of the Government, against the communicator Vito Quiles has agreed to the provisional dismissal of the proceedings as it does not find sufficient evidence of a crime.
The complaint referred to events that occurred in a cafeteria in Las Rozas (Madrid), where, according to the account presented by Gómez, Quiles allegedly maintained an attitude of harassment, intimidation, and molestation.
However, after analyzing the available images and the investigations carried out during the inquiry, the judge concludes that there are no elements that would allow the accusations made to be sustained criminally.
The court dismisses assault or threats
According to the judicial resolution, the recordings incorporated into the proceedings do not reflect physical assault, direct threats, or criminally relevant conduct that would justify continuing with the case.
The order emphasizes that criminal law requires the existence of solid evidence to keep this type of proceeding open and considers that, with the evidence gathered, the necessary requirements are not met.
The origin of the complaint
The complaint was filed following an incident that occurred weeks ago in a public establishment in Las Rozas.
From the Moncloa environment, what happened was described as an episode of "harassment" and "assault" against Begoña Gómez, framing it within an alleged climate of pressure on individuals linked to the Executive.
For his part, Vito Quiles' defense maintained from the outset that what happened was merely a verbal exchange in a public space and denied any intimidating or violent behavior.
