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. "

Thanks to the follow-up of the head of the Ministry of the Interior, they also learned that Bárcena had asked a prisoner to search for and delete the audio of his conversations with Rajoy and the PP leader, Javier Arenas, in exchange for giving the prisoner an undetermined amount of money.
