The sentence, drafted on the same day as the trial and notified on Friday, May 8, 2026, states that there is insufficient evidence to affirm that the accused knowingly lied when testifying about an assembly held on January 20, 2019, at the Cultural Casino de Torrevieja Society.
The oral hearing focused on a complaint filed by the former president of the entity, who accused the members of having falsely testified about the presence of certain individuals at the presidential table of an assembly. This presence was relevant in a previous judicial process that determined the formal legality of an electoral process within the entity.
The judge concluded that the statements were not as clear as the prosecution maintained. Several defendants stated that they only saw the former president and one other person, that they did not know other mentioned individuals, or that they could not confirm who was at the table.
The ruling emphasizes that it was not enough to prove that the accused were mistaken or misremembered, but rather that it had to be proven that they knew the truth and, despite that, stated the opposite. This point was not demonstrated, according to the court.
This judicial process is part of an internal division that has affected the entity in recent years, stemming from the election of the former president in 2019 and questions regarding the legality of the electoral process.
