The woman who filed a complaint of sexual assault against lawyer Cándido Conde-Pumpido, son of the President of the Constitutional Court, withdrew it on Thursday morning. The complainant, Aline Fernanda de Siqueira, accompanied by her lawyer Beatriz Uriarte, went to the court responsible for the case and, along with the withdrawal of her original indictment, waived “the corresponding civil and criminal actions,” legal sources said.
The sources consulted have explained that in her appearance the plaintiff offered a version of events similar to that presented in the statements published last Wednesday in El Mundo, in the sense that she was “not very well” with her “ mental abilities”. when the alleged events occurred because he had been drinking. Sources close to the defense believe that the existence of recordings from cameras installed in the defendant’s house, in which no attack on the complainant was seen, was crucial to the development of the case and the withdrawal of the complaint.
Lawyer Conde-Pumpido was arrested on the 3rd after police received a telephone complaint about the alleged sexual assault. The alleged victim did not initially file a formal complaint, but later did so at Madrid police headquarters and contacted the offices of the Family and Women Care Units (UFAM). After the defendant was brought to trial, he was released after the judge in charge of the case, María Isabel Durantez, was able to view the above-mentioned footage from the surveillance cameras in the lawyer’s apartment.
The judge assessed the material so that “the complainant and the accused can be observed entering and leaving one of the bedrooms, drinking, etc. for several hours without being able to guess a situation consistent with the victims’ story .” .” maintained by her.” The public prosecutor’s office, for its part, applied for the adoption of the precautionary measure to oblige the defendant to distance himself from the complainant. However, the judge did not make this decision because “according to the current findings, it can be assumed that there is no objective threat to the complainant that justifies the adoption of the protective measure.” Aline was hospitalized at the Infanta Sofía University Hospital in San Sebastián de los Reyes (Madrid ) and the resulting medical report indicated the presence of minor injuries, with no evidence of additional “external genital organs” or other injuries.
The sources consulted believe that all these circumstances, as well as the possible exercise of false reporting actions, had a particular influence on the withdrawal of the complaint. The defendant’s lawyer, Ricardo Álvarez Ossorio, explained in an interview with Onda Cero in recent days: “She says that they raped her, but the cameras are there, you can see Cándido sleeping in his room and that woman According to the lawyer, the complainant called the police “as an expression of her frustration at the impact of everything” and added that “in her anger she wants to hunt down Cándido”. In Aline’s above-mentioned statements to El Mundo, the complainant’s statement was recorded that she had consumed “wine, beer and ecstasy” in the defendant’s house.
