El Confidentencial and his editor, Ignacio Cardero, convicted of illegal infringement of the honor of Real Madrid President Florentino Pérez
The Supreme Court has enforced the ruling by Madrid's Court of Firstal Atcompant No. 42 on 6 October 2022, which the EL Confidencial newspaper and his editor, Ignacio Cardero, condemned the honor of Real Madrid President Florentino Pérez. The ruling is final and is also previously ratified by the Provincial Court.
For a period of a few days in July 2021, El Confidentencial published a series of audio recordings of a private conversation in which the Real Madrid President was recorded without his permission. In his ruling, the judge stated that “the form and content of the broadcasts showed that the intention was always to undermine the public image of Mr Florentino Pérez Rodríguez. As such, this forms an illegal infringement of his right to honor.”
“It was therefore not intended to inform, but rather to influence the opinion of the readers of the newspaper and society in general, to a negative view of the plaintiff, to personally discredit him – which is clearly an attempted defamer that cannot be protected under the supposed law and information.”
“This judge finds that El Confidentencial exceeded the limits of his freedom of information, which resulted in an illegal infringement of the claimant's right to honor.”
“I maintain the lawsuit that has been tensioned against the newspaper El Confidencial and her editor, Mr Ignacio Cardero, and declare that both co-defenders have committed an illegal introduction to the honor of Mr. Florentino Pérez Rodríguez by the creep in multiple releases in multiple releases in several releases in multiple releases in several Releaseses in several Releaseses and printed editions of the digital and printed editions of the edge of the edge of the edge of the edge of the edge of the edge of the edge of the edge of the edge of the edge of the edge of the edge of the edge of the edge of the edge of the edge of the edge of the edge.
