The judicial sentence concludes that “there is insufficient evidence to destroy the presumption of innocence” of Mompó, ending a process that led to his departure from the Altea City Council, where he managed the areas of Legal Services, Contracting, and Heritage.

The court considers that the accusation “was not proven,” recalling that “mere suspicion of committing a crime is not enough to convict.” The ruling closes the case that resulted in the councillor's resignation from his seat and his withdrawal from political life two days after his arrest.

The investigation became public when Mompó was arrested by the Civil Guard in Xàbia and later released on provisional bail, investigated for alleged crimes of physical mistreatment with injuries and minor coercion. The news prompted a swift institutional and political reaction, and the then-councillor submitted his resignation and renounced his seat, following the call for accountability from his government partners and his own political party.

In a public letter, Rafael Ramón Mompó has described this period as “probably the most difficult months” of his life, stating he has “silently suffered the personal, family, and social damage caused by a public accusation of this magnitude.” He made the decision to resign “because I understood it was the institutionally correct thing to do, even if it meant giving up a public service vocation I deeply believed in.”

The former councillor also alluded to the impact the situation had on his personal and family environment, and thanked the support received from neighbours, friends, and colleagues. “Today Justice confirms my innocence. I want to thank from the heart the support received from many people in Altea,” he states in his writing, asserting that “I hold no grudges” and hopes to progressively regain the peace, his personal image, and the normality he lost.
