The Court of Madrid archives the case against the former 'controller' of Iberdrola for the alleged theft of invoices

The magistrate points out that the perpetration of the crime with which he was charged has not been "duly justified"

MADRID, 15 Dic. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The Court of Instruction Number 9 of Madrid has filed the case against the former director of Control of Corporate Functions of Iberdrola José Antonio del Olmo for the alleged theft of invoices since the commission of the crime did not appear "duly justified" that the energy company accused him of.

In an order from this Tuesday, to which Europa Press has had access, magistrate Arturo Zamarriego accepts the arguments put forward by the Prosecutor's Office, which explained that the procedures carried out did not result in sufficient evidence in order to formulate an accusation against Del Olmo.

The company filed a complaint against its former manager, whom it accused of revealing company secrets for allegedly having stolen invoices and documents that would have ended up in the media. Del Olmo, for his part, denied having extracted the published invoices from the system and therefore stated that he would not have provided them to anyone for publication.

"Although it is true that the person investigated, due to the functions he performed, had access to said documentary, it is more than likely that other people integrated into the organization chart of the company also had access to them, without counting the people physical entities that appear on the invoices as suppliers", explains the magistrate.

Likewise, the judge continues, it is clear that Del Olmo "notarized in 2004 deposited various documentation of the complainant, including some invoices from the advisory council of Iberdrola de Andalucía." "As we say, these are invoices from the Andalusian advisory council, not from Castilla y León, which are the ones that are the subject of this case," he details.

Finally, the judge points out that "there is no record of the existence of any confidentiality agreement outside the employment contract that Del Olmo would have signed" with Iberdrola. "Nor does it have a legal origin, since the simple generic obligation to keep confidentiality that affects all workers does not serve to integrate the criminal offense at hand," he concludes.
