The secretary had worked for the businessman for more than two decades. According to El País, she confirmed in court what she had previously told the police. She said she had not witnessed any disputes between father and son at Mango’s headquarters. According to the newspaper, her knowledge of their relationship related mainly to their professional dealings. Her testimony alone therefore cannot establish the nature of all their private interactions.

According to El País, investigators are examining the hypothesis that financial matters linked to a charitable foundation the businessman planned to establish may have played a role. The defence disputes this account. This is an investigative hypothesis, not a judicial finding.

The investigation includes further witness testimony. In October, reports had already emerged that people from the businessman’s professional and personal circles had been summoned. The original timetable was later partly postponed. The testimony is intended to help clarify the circumstances of the fall and the relationship between father and son.
