⚖️ Florentino Pérez wins court case over leaked private audio
The Supreme Court has firmly upheld the conviction against the digital newspaper 'El Confidencial' and its director, Ignacio Cardero, for an unlawful intrusion into the honor of Florentino Pérez, president of Real Madrid. The ruling confirms the previous decisions of Madrid's Court of First Instance 42 and the Provincial Court. The judicial decision stems from the publication of a series of private audio recordings of Florentino Pérez in July 2021. The judge determined that the purpose of the publications was not to inform, but rather to "undermine the public image" and "steer public opinion... towards a negative view of the plaintiff", which is considered a clear attempt at discredit that cannot be protected by freedom of information. The court ruling emphasizes that 'El Confidencial' overstepped the bounds of its freedom of information. The consequences of the conviction include, among others, the publication of the ruling in all digital and print editions of the newspapers 'As', 'Marca', 'El Confidencial', 'El País', and 'El Mundo'; as well as the cessation of any total or partial dissemination of the content of the recordings. Likewise, the defendants are ordered to pay Florentino Pérez symbolic damages in the amount of 1 euro for damages, as well as the payment of legal costs.

Four firefighters, two civilians injured in Jefferson Parish fire
METAIRIE, La. (WGNO) — An infant is among six people who were injured in an apartment building fire in Metairie on Tuesday afternoon. Some firefighters also needed to be treated. Jefferson Parish Fire Chief Charles Hudson said firefighters arrived at the scene around 5:05 p.m., where they found heavy fire coming from the second floor of the building. Several people were trapped. 'There's one adult that was taken to university with heavy burns, and an infant was brought to children's hospital with heavy burns,' Hudson said. Man dies in Montegut house fire Christon Morgan, who lived on the first floor of the building, said that he was driving home from work when he saw his home on fire. 'I thought the gas station was on fire at first because I couldn't see the apartment from behind the gas station. So, once I made it to the corner, I noticed that our apartment was on fire,' Morgan said. Morgan says, during the fire, the injured man was seen hanging from the balcony and eventually collapsed on the street. He says that scene is something he will never forget. Other than the infant and the adult resident, four firefighters were taken away by ambulance to be treated for smoke inhalation and heat exhaustion. Hudson says that, due to their hard work and the civilian heroes who helped them, the remaining occupants of the complex were able to escape with little to no harm. 'People just stopped and saw the fire and started helping, and as we arrived on the scene, started pointing us in the right direction to get to the back of the building and get up on the second floor, where they did have people still in the building and we got them out safe and sound,' Hudson Posts Early showers but not much later in the day TikTok impersonation scheme hits Florida barber shop New Orleans to honor Katrina's 20th anniversary with week of events and summit Fans may have saved Mona Lisa French Quarter restaurant Saints name starting quarterback for preseason opener versus Chargers Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
