His testimony as a witness has lasted almost three hours, in which he stated that they had several conversations with Bárcena's driver  — accused of spying on the former treasurer — in which Villarejo's driver apparently told Villarejo that he was "very hurt "because he had to pass" very strict controls "in prison, even though they had him as a" special follow-up prisoner.
