Paula turned pale.
“That’s been rigged!” he shouted.
But the video continued.
Illegal transfers.
Counterfeit emails.
Signatures copied.
Everything.
Test after test.
Absolute silence.
The judge turned off the projection.
—Anything to add, Ms. Aguilar? Mr. Salgado?
Salgado was sweating.
—This… this proves nothing…
“On the contrary,” the judge replied. “It demonstrates an attempt at fraud, falsification of evidence, and moral damage against Mr. Herrera.”
The hammer struck.
—Mr. Andrés Herrera is acquitted of all charges.
Andrés felt like the world was stopping.
—Furthermore, a criminal investigation is ordered to be opened against the plaintiffs and their legal representatives.
Paula started to cry.
Salgado tried to leave, but two judicial police officers were already at the door.
The judge continued:
—And the restitution of back wages, compensation and damages to the defendant is ordered.
The hammer fell one last time.
—The session is adjourned.
