The individual was reportedly detained, although the judge permitted victims to obtain his release from Sangonera prison on the condition that he could not approach Murcia. He is accused of pressuring minors to alter their statements and to retract accusations, with the aim of avoiding punishment.
He allegedly devised a scenario outlining what the minors should tell the judge in order to secure acquittal, a conduct attributed to misconduct allegations cited by police sources. In return, money was offered to the witnesses.

After the release, investigators collected evidence suggesting involvement in actions against the administration of justice and violations of the court-imposed measures. The detainee remained in custody with his former lawyer, Raul Pardo-Geijo, who had initially represented him but later reported concerns about the defense. The prosecutors indicate that this lawyer allegedly attempted to influence the victims to change their testimonies in court, provided a written outline of the responses required, and even offered substantial sums of money.
The accused is also connected to two other individuals who operate as intermediaries in a scheme that targets minors, offering the possibility of sexual acts with a prisoner in exchange for money. These intermediaries were arrested and placed under legal action, according to the public statement.
The person identified as Jacob has been readmitted to prison, without the option of bail. In a prior incident, a payment of 40,000 euros was made in exchange for leaving Sangonera. The individual faces investigations on two separate charges connected to child sexual abuse and additional charges related to the trafficking or exploitation of minors.
