Mayor of Maracena, Berta Linares, says she contacted her then partner because the Civil Guard asked her to. The lifting of secrecy has allowed access to judicial resolutions in which it is indicated that she spoke and met with the kidnapper shortly after he illegally held his government partner.

The mayor has said that her lawyers are analyzing the summary, which the parties can access for just 24 hours. "They have not found a single piece of evidence or indication that incriminates us," she said.
