  • Exclusive Óscar Cornejo and Adrián Madrid, directors of La Fábrica de la Tele, charged individually in Operation Deluxe

  • Television Sálvame, sentenced to pay 160,000 euros to Raquel Bollo for violating her right to honor

  • Courts Justice increases the compensation to Antonio David for null dismissal and dismisses the appeal of La Fábrica de la Tele

The one known as

Merlos Place

was one of the cases that gave

Sálvame

the most audience . For 20 episodes, the program presented by Jorge Javier Vázquez dedicated itself to talking about every minute detail about the life of Alfonso Merlos. All this due to the journalist's scandal when, during the broadcast of his online program

Estado de Alarma

, he came out walking, behind and live, the journalist Alexia Rivas in a bikini.

At that time, Merlos was in a romantic relationship with Telecinco collaborator Marta López. Therefore, in various programs on the network there was talk of a

possible infidelity of the journalist

with Alexia Rivas. However, formats such as

Sálvame

,

Sábado Deluxe

or

Socialité

went much further when it came to interfering in the life of the communicator. His story even reached

American television

and

La Fábrica de la Tele

took advantage of its "

soap opera"

in increasingly questionable ways.

Merlos denounced and, now, the Provincial Court of Madrid sentences

Sálvame

to pay him 800,000 euros for "a

continued

illegitimate interference

in the right to honor and personal and family privacy." Information that

OK Diario has advanced.

The ruling also condemns the qualifiers with which Óscar Conejo and Adrián Madrid's production company allowed Merlos to be referred to. "He was described as a classist,

coward, useful fool, uncivil

, liar, old-fashioned,

sexist, unfaithful, traitor,

hypocrite, scoundrel, crook, and catechist," the sentence indicates.

"The viewing of the programs, applying the doctrine, shows that the network promoted,

encouraged and incited

the utterance of expressions referring to Merlos that clearly go beyond the scope of criticism,

lack objective justification

, are manifestly offensive and undoubtedly harm the dignity of the actor and undermine his fame," the Prosecutor's Office argued.

According to the court ruling, the program "promoted, encouraged and incited the revelation and dissemination of

private facts

relating to the intimate and personal life of the plaintiff, which directly affected, and were completely

devoid of any public interest

."

The Provincial Court thus ratifies a ruling by the Court of First Instance number 3 of Móstoles, from July 2022, which upheld

Merlos'

claim

. The Móstoles court condemned the producer "to

refrain

in the future , through its network or any other means, from disseminating totally or partially the content of the aforementioned programs in all aspects that involve an interference in the right to honor".

This medium has contacted Alfonso Merlos, who has refused to talk about his judicial victory.

"I am not going to make statements

about the sentence won

by Mediaset España Comunicación SA. Thank you, however," he said.
