The retired commissioner José Manuel Villarejo has submitted a document in which he adheres to Corinna Larsen's appeal requesting the file of the case that keeps them accused in the National High Court. It is about the separate piece of the Tandem case called Carlol , focused on the possible commission of the friend of the King emeritus to the policeman to spy on a maid of whom he had suspicions.

At the end of July, the magistrate of the National Court Manuel García Castellón reopened the piece that had been provisionally filed in 2018 by the magistrate Diego de Egea. Larsen appealed against the decision, to which the jailed commissioner now agrees. Among other reasons, because when the alleged order to investigate the assistant Villarejo took place, he had already retired, which according to his defense prevents him from having committed the crime of bribery attributed to him. In the reopening order, the judge described Villarejo as "an active public official."

In the records made after the arrest of the commissioner, two audios of his conversations with Larsen corresponding to meetings they had in London were found. "From the conversation between Mr. Villarejo and Ms. Larsen", wrote the judge in the reopening order now appealed, "we can highlight how this exposes to him his concerns regarding a Spanish personal assistant, who could be filtering information regarding his private life. José Manuel Villarejo recommends that Corinna check the assistant's calls and messages to find out who she is speaking to or who she is writing to, asking Corinna to provide her telephone number in Spain and stating that he is in charge of check it in Spain, to which Corinna responds that it is perfect ".

In addition, Villarejo's lawyer, Antonio José García Cabrera, criticizes that the judge supports the reopening of the piece in the discovery of "new audios" when "they were at the disposal of justice from the beginning, being only a part of all the Existing audios, which have not been joined to the piece for unknown reasons, also being that the accompanied ones are neither authentic nor complete ".

The judge wants to find out if the order was executed and if Corinna paid Villarejo for it. García Castellón has summoned Larsen to testify as a defendant on September 8. It will also take a statement from Villarejo, her partner Rafael Redondo and the former president of Telefónica Juan Villalonga.

In the conversations investigated in the Carol piece, they also spoke of the alleged opaque business of Juan Carlos I. When the case was filed, this material was sent to the Public Ministry, which has seen possible signs of crime and has entrusted the matter to the Prosecutor's Office of the Supreme Court .

In its appeal, Larsen's defense alleges that there is no connection between that first investigation that the hearing initiated and the one that is now being resumed with the reopening order, so it must be considered void. In addition, it alleges that the Hearing has no competence to investigate some events that took place in London. In the appeal, Larsen asks to annul all the declarations foreseen in September.
