MALLORCA TODAY - Matas Trial: Day Two

Highlights of the second day. Antonio Alemany, the journalist accused of receiving government money for work that he didn't do, denied the claim completely and seemed to spend much of the time having a ding-dong with the judge and smiling a great deal. Earlier than expected, Jaume Matas started his appearance and said that the tender process which led to the allegedly irregular contracting of Alemany was not something within his responsibility as president. Matas attributed the contracting to the director of communication Joan Martorell and the head of the PR company Nimbus Miguel Romero and indicated that he believed there was a pact between others of those accused in the trial with the prosecutors to incriminate him.


It is a rest day today. Back on court on Thursday when the star turn will be Rosa Estaras, Matas's one-time second-in-command and now an MEP.
