  • Courts Nacho Vidal asks the court to file his accusation for the murder of a photographer after giving him toad bufo

  • His version "Everything was a tragic accident. I am Nacho Vidal, I am not a shaman"

The well-known porn actor

Nacho Vidal

will finally not be able to avoid the dock. The Third Section of the

Provincial Court of Valencia

has decided to revoke the provisional dismissal of the case for the death of the photographer José Luis Abad, who died in 2019 at the actor's home in

Enguera

during the celebration of a bufo toad ritual. Abad had previously consumed cocaine, but the consumption of this substance given to him by Nacho Vidal was lethal.

The actor - who always defended that everything was an accident and whose real name is

Ignacio Jordá

- will be tried along with the other two people who were present during the particular ceremony. The order of the Court of Valencia, which thus corrects the decision of the Court of Instruction number 2 of Xàtiva, charges the actor with an alleged crime of reckless homicide after the appeal presented by the lawyer representing the photographer's brother,

Javier Vilarrubí Llorens

.

To file the case, the judge of Xàtiva had based it on the fact that it was the deceased photographer who had requested to undergo the bufo toad ceremony, to which he arrived having also consumed cocaine. However, the new order assumes the thesis that Nacho Vidal was the

"director of the rite"

, in addition to the fact that it was carried out in his own home. In this case, it is not overlooked that the actor boasted "special knowledge" about this type of ceremonies.

The Court of Valencia understands that it is Nacho Vidal who has the dose that the victim finally inhaled in a glass pipette, "a substance that, despite what he alleges in his defense, was not brought by the deceased, but was taken by the investigated from a drawer in a piece of furniture in his kitchen," according to the order.

Nacho Vidal

"knew the toxicity of the substance" and yet "did not take any precautions before or during its administration

. "

The order insists that the actor "lacked medical training; he arranged the dose to be administered without it being recorded that he took any measure to measure it or, where appropriate, determine its purity; he did not carry out any prior study (analytical or anamnesis) to know the state of health of the deceased; he did not ensure that there was any kind of medical assistance at the place of administration nor did he attempt to obtain urgent assistance as soon as the deceased lost consciousness.

The document highlights that the photographer warned that he had consumed

cocaine

and, even so, no one objected to continuing with the "ceremony." "The evident lack of medical knowledge on the part of Mr. Jordá [Nacho Vidal] and the people whose presence he arranged to carry out the ceremony was evident when, Mr. Abad having fainted as soon as he inhaled the substance, everyone continued with ceremony for several minutes until they realized that something could have happened to Mr. Abad," the order adds based on the video found on the deceased's phone.

Therefore, "it cannot be accepted, at least at the indicative level typical of this procedural moment, that the victim had been duly and exhaustively informed of the risks he assumed by inhaling the substance and, even less so, that the damage is attributable solely to the victim's decision to submit to the ceremony when, as has been seen, the succession of actions blameworthy of Mr. Jordá González is extensive".

In any case, an alleged crime against public health and reckless and non-intentional homicide is pointed out, because "it cannot be stated" that Nacho Vidal considered "very probable" that the bufo toad ceremony could end with the photographer's death. . "And, even less, that he accepted that harmful result," confirms the order.
