Cándido Conde-Pumpido has been on the front page of the media in recent weeks, mainly due to his breakup with Lara Dibildos. However, this past weekend he was at the center of a much murkier event. The lawyer and son of the president of the Constitutional Court was arrested after a Brazilian prostitute was accused of having participated in a group sexual assault. In the last few hours, the reactions have come in dribs and drabs.
One of the most recent and expected by the media has been that of his own ex-partner. Dibildos was intercepted this Monday morning by a team of reporters from Europa Press, with the intention of inquiring into her opinion on the matter. Laura Valenzuela's daughter has preferred to stay out of the situation and not reveal anything: “I'm not going to talk.” Likewise, she has assured before the microphones that she will be absent in the next few hours.
“Today I'm going to film outside for a few days,” he told journalists, before insisting that he would not comment on the matter. A refusal to respond that Beatriz Cortázar has reinforced, in an intervention in “It's Federico's Morning”, on esRadio: “Lara Dibildos hasn't picked up the phone since last night, she is overwhelmed because she doesn't know how far she can talk and where she can't” . A few words that were given after Conde-Pumpido was released shortly after his arrest.
El Mundo published the order of the judge who released the accused, ensuring that the images from the security cameras at the scene of the alleged crime “distort the version given by the victim.” “You can see different rooms of the house throughout the early hours of last Friday. And the accused do not appear at any time, nor is any situation similar to that described by the complainant displayed,” the document reads.
“The complainant and the accused can be observed in one of the two bedrooms for several hours, entering and leaving, drinking, etc., without any situation being able to be guessed that coincides with the account of the events she maintains,” the letter indicated. For its part, Conde-Pumpido's defense has spoken before the media. Ricardo Álvarez-Ossorio has denied any type of connection between the judge and the person involved.
“She is a magistrate and what she does is her job. Obviously they know each other. What cannot be done is to say that this man has been released because he is a friend of her father,” the lawyer indicated. Likewise, he spoke out about the accusations by the alleged victim, questioning her motives.
"The reality is what you see with your eyes, this lady had a situation, I don't know why she does it or what it is due to, if she has a mental problem or she does it under someone's instructions, but everything she says is proven to be lie. The situation was beginning to be suspicious, there was an intensity of behavior in this woman that was not natural, a lot of intensity in a few days. This made him back off a little, in fact we have WhatsApp conversations,” she commented.
